Just a quick link to a collection of “standards” for determining whether your online courses are of sufficient quality or not. I wonder how my open courses would rate…

    As a former Aggie, I’m surprised you didn’t list the Merrill 5 star rating. Three great collections though - thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for posting these. I’m familiar with QM and Monterey Institute’s but not NACOL.

    The timing of your post has synchronicity for me; at UVU we have our own rubric that aims at measuring some aspects of quality and values heavily faculty-authored content, and John K. and I were just talking about revamping it this week. We had a conference call with Jean Runyon of QM today which left me reinvigorated to the ideal of developing useful and effective standards for evaluating quality e-learning.
