Quality Assurance Procedures for a Web-Based Degree
Abstract
The growth of credit-bearing distance learning offerings and enrolments at accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities has been astonishing in the last few years. According to Eaton “during the academic year 1997–98, approximately 1.6 million students were enrolled in credit-bearing distance learning courses (whether electronic, television-based, or print- and-mail-based, and including both synchronous and asynchronous instruction) in degree-granting post-secondary colleges and universities in the United States. That year, 54,000 college-level credit-bearing distance-learning courses were offered in 1,680 institutions. Thirty-five states, currently operate virtual universities or participate in a regional virtual university, typically created by existing degree-granting colleges and universities”(Eaton, 2001).
