05.08.2020 | Call for Papers/ParticipationFür den geplanten Sammelband „Quality in Online Programs: Approaches and Practices in Higher Education" aus der Reihe „Leadership and Best Practices in Educational Technology Management” laden die Herausgeberinnen Patricia Arnold (Hochschule München) und Swapna Kumar (University of Florida) dazu ein, sich mit Beiträge zu beteiligen. Der Sammelband soll in Kooperation mit der AECT (Association for Educational Communications and Technology) im Brill Verlag erscheinen. Die Einreichung eines kurzen Abstracts ist bis zum 05. September 2020 möglich.
The book will focus on approaches and practices adopted for quality assurance, measurement, and management in online programs within higher education. There is an abundance of literature on online course design, facilitation, and quality, but fewer resources for those looking to create, improve, and evaluate online programs in higher education. Chapters in this book will provide cases about how leaders, programs or institutions implemented, measured, and sustained quality in online programs, and will end with specific resources and recommendations for others. The book is part of the series „Leadership and Best Practices in Educational Technology Management”.

- Educational technology and instructional design support
- Quality assurance and continuous improvement procedures
- Program outcomes, student retention, student professional growth, etc.
