Effective application of quality assurance & enhancement procedures to e-learning courses
- Date: 10 May 2010
- Start Time: 12:00 pm
- Location/venue: National e-Science Centre, Edinburgh , Scotland
This event is Led by the QA-QE Special Interest Group (SIG) for e-learning (which is supported by the Higher Education Academy)
in collaboration with the Institute of Education, University of London, University of Reading, University of Derby, Centre for Distance Education, University of London, Teesside University and the Quality Assurance Agency.
Scrutiny by external examiners, annual and periodic reviews, student questionnaires, student representatives, course validation, peer reviews and team meetings are among the common strategies used by universities to monitor, assure and ultimately enhance the quality of their e-learning programmes.
Based on research results, data collected by the QAA in their institutional audits, the review of the e-learning research, and practitioners’ experience, this workshop aims to:
- Identify issues in quality assurance and enhancement (QA/QE) procedures that arise from the use of technology in teaching and learning
- Identify how these issues are reflected in your own current institutional procedures
- Identify how the internal assurance and enhancement procedures of other institutions deal with these issues
- Identify ways to make your own institutional assurance and enhancement procedures more effective in assuring and enhancing the quality of e-learning
The intended workshop audience includes HE staff in both central and faculty/school level, in positions of responsibility for quality assurance/quality enhancement, teaching and learning, development and embedding of e-learning in teaching and learning, and e-learning courses’ quality assurance.
