Abstract
As higher education increasingly adopts online and distance learning models, maintaining quality in these programs is essential. This chapter, “Virtual to Valuable: Enhancing Quality Assurance in Online and Distance Learning Programs,” explores the strategies needed to ensure and elevate quality assurance in virtual education. It reviews key frameworks, like the Quality Matters (QM) model, and examines accreditation's role in upholding standards. The chapter addresses challenges such as technological limitations, student engagement, and academic rigor while presenting best practices in course design, delivery, student support, and assessment. Additionally, it discusses the impact of emerging technologies and considers future trends and policy implications. Through a blend of literature review, case studies, and qualitative data, this chapter offers practical insights for improving the effectiveness and credibility of online education.
