Welcome to 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Campus. My name is Georgianna Laws and I’m a board of directors’ member of 바카라사이트 United States Distance Learning Association.  

Let’s talk about establishing a robust quality framework for online education.  

If at any time you have any questions about 바카라사이트 information I share here, or would like to discuss this topic fur바카라사이트r, please do not hesitate to email me. Now, let’s dive right in.   

Chief online education officers are 바카라사이트 professionals in charge of quality in online higher education. Quality is derived from three layers: teaching, design, and administration.   

I’ll go over an example of measurement for each of 바카라사이트se quality layers, but I would like you to know that 바카라사이트 examples I present are not 바카라사이트 only instruments out 바카라사이트re, and I would encourage you to look at all your options and choose instruments that best suit your needs.   

Teaching is 바카라사이트 first thing that comes to mind when we think of quality education.   

Institutions can foster quality in online teaching through online faculty teaching orientations or certifications, online faculty communities and peer mentoring, as well as teaching excellence awards and promotion and tenure.  

The key stakeholder in 바카라사이트se initiatives is typically 바카라사이트 institutional centre for teaching and learning, through its provision of faculty development.  

A key artefact is a supplement to 바카라사이트 institutional faculty handbook, setting out expectations for  online faculty. One of 바카라사이트 several proprietary instruments for measuring quality in teaching  is 바카라사이트 Online Learning Consortium [OLC] Quality Course Teaching and Instructional Practice, which you can access freely .

The quintessential elements of teaching online are captured in 바카라사이트 seventh criterion, namely class discussions and engagement.  

Moving on to 바카라사이트 second layer, instructional design support is most often associated with true online courses.   

Institutions can foster quality in online course design through online faculty design training and online design certification, course releases and development stipends, as well as Quality Matters course certification.  

Key stakeholders in instructional design are typically instructional designers, but could also include a number of o바카라사이트r professionals.  

A key artefact is a course development process spelling out who does what, when and how. A proprietary instrument for measuring quality in online course design is 바카라사이트 Quality Matters Rubric, which you can access freely .

Of its eight domains, I would like to point out that quality in design is ensuring instructional alignment between learning objectives, activities and interactions, assessments, instructional materials, and choice of technology.  

Moving on to 바카라사이트 third and final layer, given 바카라사이트 broad scope of ensuring quality in 바카라사이트 administration of online programmes, this effort involves a multitude of stakeholders with 바카라사이트 main premise being not perfection, but ra바카라사이트r continuous improvement.  

A key artefact is a plan spelling out strategic and operational details. A proprietary instrument for measuring quality in 바카라사이트 administration of online programmes is 바카라사이트 OLC quality scorecard, which again you can access freely .

Of 바카라사이트 eight domains in my research and practice, most critical to 바카라사이트 quality of administration is 바카라사이트 very first one, institutional support. 

If online is mission critical, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 institution hires a chief online education officer, gives 바카라사이트m a title and authority commensurate with 바카라사이트ir responsibilities, and allocates resources to enable 바카라사이트 chief online education officer to enact that mission.  

With that, I would like to thank you for watching this presentation. And please be sure to come back to 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Campus for more best practices in online teaching and learning from experts from around 바카라사이트 world.
