How can we assure quality in online higher education?

How can we assure quality in online higher education? | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

This blog was kindly contributed by Dr David LeFevre, Director of the EdTech Lab at Imperial College and the founder of higher education platform company Insendi, part of Study Group.

Last month a subtle warning shot was shot across the bows of universities still struggling to manage the disruption caused by Covid-19. When the Minister responsible for higher education announced that UK students would be charged full tuition fees for online study, she added a caveat – the assumption of quality. If students ‘feel that the quality isn’t there’ she said, ‘there are processes that they can follow’ to seek redress’.

“Higher education, to do what they’ve been able to do in such a short amount of time, it’s amazing, but it’s still not online education,” Adair argues.

In a joint statement, the council’s members advocate that “online learning involves the careful and deliberate development and implementation of courses and programs that are designed to be offered online. High quality online courses and programs should be guided by instructional design and pedagogical practices specifically created for online education.”

The council aims to help distinguish “this quick pivot to put your stuff up on Zoom” from what carefully designed distance courses can achieve, Adair says, adding, “The fear is that fundamental misunderstanding of what online learning is and what it takes to do it well is going to work against future online efforts, and it will prejudice how student and parents think about online education, and could prejudice how legislatures and folks with other kinds of oversight positions look at online education.”

Quality teaching can be an elusive topic because of the broad definition of what can make teaching a high quality effort. These are some solid areas to focus on to improve your quality of teaching. How many have you implemented?

SMARTERTEACHER's curator insight, November 12, 2014 1:00 PM

I like the list but would prefer that Content not be the first thing to show up.  There are a great many people who know content, but could not teach their way out of a paper bag. 

Ness Crouch's curator insight, July 9, 2015 8:20 PM

I certainly have to agree but could I add more? The only addition I think I would make would be having learners as the centre of all of the above. ;)

7 Keys to Get What You Want By Chris Gaborit

7 Keys to Get What You Want By Chris Gaborit | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Two of the people I met with last week, a systems engineer and a GM, both said the same thing to me, "my biggest challenge is influencing stakeholders." This inspired me to write an article for the Sydney Morning Herald titled, How to Influence Your Stakeholders.

 

The No.1 most powerful leadership quality you can have is influence.

Influence will:


▪ bring promotion to you
▪ make people see and hear you
▪ and get you want you want

Online Learning: Why Students Want Quality Over Convenience

Online Learning: Why Students Want Quality Over Convenience | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

"What are the defining features of a quality educational experience? Without thinking much about it, we would probably cite elements like knowledgeable and responsive instructors, clearly structured curriculum, and engaging learning activities. In the current educational climate, where online learning increasingly is becoming the norm, the question arises whether these qualities still matter. "

Four Crucial Factors in High-Quality Distance Learning Courses

Four Crucial Factors in High-Quality Distance Learning Courses | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
“Distance learning is here to stay. Educational institutions should have a vision for what type of distance learning programs they will implement and the standards they will hold to. Institutions will master distance learning, or in some cases, distance learning trends and demands will master the school.” This is the conclusion of Joseph McClary of Liberty University in his article, “Factors in High Quality Distance Learning Courses,” appearing in the Summer 2013 issue of the Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration. In it, he examines the components of a high quality distance learning course and some of the barriers to their development.
