Quality in Online Programs: Approaches and Practices in Higher Education

• In Event: Book Shares- Leading in Online Learning (v)

Short Description

This edited book focuses on approaches and practices adopted for quality assurance in online programs within higher education. There is an abundance of literature on online course design, facilitation, and quality, but fewer resources for those looking to create, improve, and evaluate online programs in higher education. The goal of this book, therefore, is to provide online program leaders and institutional administrators looking to create, improve, and evaluate online programs, with examples of concrete approaches and practices that they can adopt or adapt to their institutional contexts.

The three sections in this book – ‘Innovative Approaches to Quality Assurance in Online Programs’, ‘Ensuring Quality Student Support in Online Programs’ and ‘Faculty Development for Quality Online Teaching’ describe how programs or institutions in the US and Europe implemented, measured, and sustained quality in online programs, and end with recommendations for other online programs.
