Institutional Goals for Quality Assurance - 2021
Past CHLOE survey reports have focused on whether there was a quality assurance (QA) process in place for online courses (CHLOE 3), as well as faculty support options for meeting QA standards (CHLOE4). By Fall 2020, most institutions had invested time and financial resources in faculty and student support options that aligned with creating a higher quality educational experience.
Chief Online Officers rise to the Challenge
For many chief online officers, the pandemic emphasized their importance to their institutions and within the administrative hierarchy. Of 281 respondents answering a series of questions on the COO (Chief Online Officer) role during the pandemic, 95% indicated the presence of an officer fitting the description. Respondents from institutions identifying this role were nearly unanimous that the visibility of the COO at their institution had been increased by the response to the pandemic.
ERL Impact on the Future of Online Learning
According to CHLOE 6 Survey, a few respondents reported that their predictions were based more on long-term planning at their institution and less, if at all, on the effects of the pivot. Yet, even in these cases, it is clear that the ERP has not dampened the prospects of continued and, for many, accelerated growth in online learning.
Best Strategies
work policy that incorporates some type of required or optional fulfillments on faculty training and job performance.
To provide facilities such as LMS (e.g., Canvas), Microsoft office suite, Adobe, email management for attending tutorials webinars on computer/software needed to complete assignments tasks.
Develop QA procedures for LMS (e.g., Canvas) content and structure to ensure quality and effective education delivery
Consider instituting QA suggestions based on institutional surveys such as withdrawal surveys and institutional effectiveness surveys
Consider adding a COO (Chief Online Officer) position to lead and execute all related tasks.
The university should continue to expand in program offerings on both undergraduate and graduate levels. The general public is more accepting of online learning and has seen its effectiveness and convenience during the pandemic.
