Defining quality and online learning
Mar 28, 2022
I could quibble in this commentary about what criteria ought to count as measuring course 'quality'. Suffice to say there is, as Tony bates notes, a wide variety of quality assurance standards. But that would miss the main point of the post, which is this: before the pandemic, there were widely-applied quality standards for online learning, but these were mostly ignored when everything went online. Why? Because offline learning was not subject to the same quality standards, and so standards weren't applied when the programs were moved online. That was fine for 2020, says Bates, but that is not sufficient for 2022. And more to the point, why aren't quality standards applied to offline learning? Just because they aren't recorded?
