Abstract: 

What evidence does your institution collect to ensure that online / distance learning is comparable to in-person learning? Join this conversation to share your strategies for providing evidence of quality and collaborate with your peers to establish a playbook of best practices for institutions when preparing for accreditation review.

Extended Abstract: 

Is your institution approved by your accreditor to offer distance education programs? How are you approaching the common request from accreditors to demonstrate your institution’s commitment to ensuring that online / distance learning is comparable to in-person learning? During this session one institution that is currently preparing for its 10-year reaffirmation of accreditation will briefly share its approach to collecting evidence of quality, followed by conversation and collective sharing of additional ideas by attendees. We’ll compile tangible suggestions into a playbook of best practices for institutions for continuous quality improvement as well as for accreditation review preparation.
