Application of an e-learning quality guide with checklists
Get PDFThis paper was produced based on the "Quality Guide of Open and Distance Learning" produced in a project subsidized by the Socrates E-learning European Cooperation Programme. It was written by Alfredo Soeiro (University of Porto, Portugal), Brian Perry (University of Hertfordshire, UK), Steve Bennett (University of Hertfordshire, UK), Jef Van den Branden (LINOV-Katholike Universitat Leuven, Belgium), José Collado Medina (Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain), Juan Manuel Moreno Olmedilla (Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain), Samuel Gento Palacios (Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain), László Komáromi (SZÁMALK Training and Consulting Centre, Hungary) and András Bardócz-Tódor (Centre for Educational Services, Hungary). It is composed by a summarized description of five sequential phases that are described each one by a set of questions organized in checklists. It is a simplified approach with practical and relevant relevance

Report for IACEE Tokyo Council Meeting
Theme: University - Industry Cooperation in CEE
Chairs - Alfredo Soeiro and Prof. Yasushi Takeuchi (since May 2001 Prof. Hajime Fujita)
There were fifteen interested members that contributed in the email discussion
group. This report reflects the work performed so far and it is desirable to include more case studies from different countries. The working group expects that in the
near future additions and improvements are included contributing to a richer document for IACEE members and for the Engineering community in general

A Framework for Online Teacher Competences
No full textAre you looking for evidence-based hands-on approaches to quality assurance in online programs in higher education? Then this is the book you are looking for. Quality in Online Programs includes approaches and practices to creating and maintaining quality in online programs from across disciplines, institutions, and countries. In this book, leaders in the field of online higher education share their lessons learned using customized approaches to online program quality, student support, and faculty development. These cases will be useful to those seeking to adopt or adapt such practices in their own contexts. The authors also focus on quality assurance at the program level, which has not often been addressed before and which is crucial to ensure faculty satisfaction, program outcomes, and a successful student experience.
