Since 2010, nearly 600 participants from 26 states, 67 institutions, and seven countries have completed the COAT course, indicating broad reach across institutions. The program, based in Annapolis, Maryland, sits within the e-learning sector and is grounded in extensive research that informs its curriculum. The customers are online-education professionals seeking development to improve teaching practice in online settings, and alumni feedback indicates high satisfaction, with more than 90% saying the course met or exceeded expectations and that they would recommend it. In September 2025, MarylandOnline announced a partnership with NJEdge Inc. to expand access to educational technology and services for Maryland higher education institutions.
