The following is an outline of pp电子极速糖果's strategy to address quality in online learning environments.
Background

The goal of this factor is to integrate the assessment of online and hybrid courses into the institutional assessment plan. Academic department heads integrate the assessment of the teaching of online and hybrid classes into a faculty member's overall evaluation; these modalities employ the same student learning outcomes and are assessed in the same manner as face-to-face courses. The Director of Distance Education participates in the Institutional 评估 Committee.
