    Quality Matters

Abstract: Can a US-based, research-supported approach to quality assurance and continuous improvement in online and blended learning, adopted by over 1000 higher educational institutions, K-12, and other educational organizations for over a decade, be adapted to educational systems and environments outside of USA? What needs to be taken into consideration, and what adjustments and adaptations are needed in order for the quality standards developed for the US-based and other English-speaking educational communities to be applicable to educational systems and environments that are vastly different culturally and pedagogically? The presenter(s) from a leading US-based quality assurance organization will share their experience working with various institutions and organizations in non-English speaking regions, specifically Arabic-speaking, Chinese-speaking, and Spanish-speaking communities, and their strategies and best practices applied to initiate and develop collaborations and partnerships with the goal to contribute to the establishment of a quality assurance process for online and blended learning as well as elearning in these target international communities.
