Online Courses: The Quality Question
Good practices for online education, esp. those encouraged by accreditors, states, et al.
Interview - Doug Eder will interview David McCurry
See some Key Attributes of good practices in online education from "National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements” (NC-SARA)
Courses and educational programs that have on-line or distance components have existed long enough to have a history. Scholars and accrediting agencies are sincerely interested in promoting good practices that improve student learning. What are the good practices that have emerged, where did they come from, how are they implemented by individuals and by programs, and what are the interests taken by external agencies such as states and accreditors? The interview/conversation will cover these topics and more. Questions and comments from the audience are anticipated and encouraged.
Guest: David McCurry, Director of Distance Education at University of South Carolina Upstate
Interviewer: Doug Eder, emeritus assessment scholar and faculty member
