Transformation in Higher Education: A Learner-Needs Segmentation Leads to Improved Learner Satisfaction
Rogers, Gayla; Finley, Donna S.; Patterson, Margaret
Teaching in Higher Education, v11 n4 p401-411 Oct 2006
Segmentation is a marketing concept that can be applied in a post-secondary context. This article delineates the outcome of applying a learner-needs segmentation that resulted in significantly improved learner satisfaction scores in a professional faculty at a large public university. Our original work described the purpose and value of learner-needs segmentation to enable a better understanding of the undergraduates at a larger urban university. This article describes how a single faculty implemented a learner-needs segmentation to underpin curriculum redesign, program realignment and services to its students.
