Quality Issues in E-Learning: Differences in Eastern and Western Approaches
Abstract
As traditional education has moved increasingly to new methods of teaching through the developments and expansion of Information and Communication Technologies where students can choose how to learn and more importantly for many when and where this learning takes place, much of the assessment is much more ridged and traditional in its nature. Although formative assessment can easily be conducted on-line and be flexible in terms of time and location, many problems arise with formative assessment in an e-learning context and the ability to establish proper quality controls. This study looks at a typical western model (European) of ensuring quality control assessment and compares this with the type of considerations that Eastern (South East and East Asian) academics consider to be appropriate.
