• Meta-study US Department of Education (2009/2010):– “students who took all or part of their instruction online
performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through face-to-face instruction. Further, those who took "blended" courses -- those that combine elements of online learning and face-to-face instruction -- appeared to do best of all” (InsideHigherEd).
• “There is sadly and shamefully a history in ODEL of commercial motives conflicting with that sense of responsibility, and too many recent instances of institutions, in particular private for-profit colleges, where admissions practice has not been ethically and transparently managed, to the severe detriment of the students who pay high fees, and accumulate debt without the benefit of qualification.”
• quality is defined: – ...as methods that successfully help learners develop the
knowledge and skills they will require in a digital age. • The concept of a “quality e-learning system” refers to – “one in which the learner has a reasonable opportunity
for success in reaching their learning goals”.
Example:Learning Analytics
• “Learning Analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs”
