3 Have fun Tony Bates and Albert Sangrà, Quality assurance and evaluation (Chapter 6)Bates and Sangrà (2011) Quality assurance methods are valuable for accreditation agencies concerned about institutions using e-learning to cut corners or reduce costs without maintaining standards. They can be useful for providing instructors new to teaching with technology, or struggling with its use, with models of best practice to follow. However, the best guarantees of quality in e-learning are a commitment by the leadership to supporting innovation in teaching, instructors well trained in both pedagogy and the use of technology for teaching, highly qualified and professional learning technology support staff, adequate resources (especially regarding instructor:student ratios), appropriate methods of working (teamwork, project management), and systematic evaluation. Generally, the same standards that apply to online learning should also apply to face-to-face teaching. 15 Recommendation 9 (Bates and Sangrà) Use standard methods of program approval, review and evaluation, slightly adapted for the special circumstances of online learning. Ensure that learner support is provided in suitable ways for off-campus students. Use a team approach, with instructional designers and web support staff, and best practice in online course design, for hybrid and distance courses. Ensure that the course design is adapted to meet the needs of off-campus learners. Begin applying some of these techniques to the re-design of large face-to-face classes. 16 Congratulations to Marte Baade Netstudent of the year 2010 Norway!! She is an active student at NKI, has completed three courses in child care, passed exams and now doing her fourth course. She is almost blind. I could never have accomplished my Master s degree without the possiblity to study via e-learning, says Mona Berg Jenssen, mother of three children, rector of a high school. 17 She is an excellent student, ambitious, structured in her studies and very active in the Forum supporting and encouraging her fellow students. 18 3

Viktoria Kis, August Quality assurance procedures can serve two major purposes: improvement and accountability. There is an uneasy balance between both purposes, which frequently raises the question of incompatibility (Vroeijenstijn, 1995a). 21 A different approach to quality Maria Jose Lemaitre. President in RIACES, Iberoamerican Network for Quality Assessment and Assurance in Higher Education, Improvement Doing the same but better Current situation Innovation Innovate and improve Change: new issues, new approaches 22 The Quality Dilemma Lack of recognition of e learning in many countries= absence of standards Lack of differentiation between quality standards in e learning and conventional education Global versus contextualized standards Difficulties in selecting appropriate quality approaches Lack of research and exchange of practices in some regions of the world Dr. Narimane Hadj-Hamou Assistant Chancellor for Academic Development.

Allow risk taking and failure 3. Sharing experiences in QA Examining Quality Culture: Part 1 Quality Assurance Processes in Higher Education Institutions European University Association (EUA) PUBLICATIONS 2010 Quality assurance as a component of quality culture There needs to be a perceived value of quality assurance. Quality culture and quality assurance are not the same thing. You can have good QA in place but not necessarily a quality culture. The challenge is linking the outcomes of QA to the development of a quality culture that enhances the student experience. - Respondent to the survey Much of the quality is dependent on the informal nature of staff/student relationships. The increasing calibration of quality indicators has led to a concern that this relationship will become formalised and thus less productive. - Respondent to the survey Quality assurance as a component of quality culture (EUA) quality culture refers to an organisational culture that intends to enhance quality permanently and is characterised by two distinct elements: on the one hand, a cultural/psychological element of shared values, beliefs, expectations and commitment towards quality and, on the other hand, a structural/ managerial element with defined processes that enhance quality and aim at coordinating individual efforts. (EUA 2006: 10) European Federation for Quality in E-learning The Foundation (2005) undertakes activities to: contribute to the quality of e-learning in Europe and provides leadership in this field promote the European diversity of quality approaches and services in the field of learning, education and training broaden the discussion and discourse on elearning quality provide a single entry point for elearning quality The OPAL Vision Unesco, ICDE, EFQUEL, Open Univeristy UK, Aalto Univeristy, Universidade Católica Portugese, University Duisburg-Essen EFQUEL Innovation Forum 2010 Focus on the practises of OER rather than the resources. Better understanding will lead to improvements in the quality of OER and more innovation. Open Educational Resource Practise (OEP) constitute the range of practises around the creation, use and management of OER with the intent to improve quality and innovative education.
