Gosper, Maree, Holt, Dale, Palmer, Stuart, Allan, G., Hicks, M., Hollenbeck, R., Munro, Judy, Sankey, Michael and Solmonides, I. 2012, Leading the evaluation of institutional online learning environments for quality enhancement in times of change, in ASCILITE 2012 : Proceeding of the 29th Annual Conference of the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education, ASCILITE, Wellington, New Zealand, pp. 353-358.
This paper reports on findings from a nationally funded project which aims to design and implement a quality management framework for online learning environments (OLEs). Evaluation is a key component of any quality management system and it is this aspect of the framework that is the focus of this paper. In developing the framework initial focus groups were conducted at the five participating institutions. These revealed that, although regarded as important, there did not appear to be a shared understanding of the nature and purpose of evaluation. A second series of focus groups revealed there were multiple perspectives arising from those with a vested interest in online learning. These perspectives will be outlined. Overall, how evaluation was undertaken was highly variable within and across the five institutions reflecting where they were at in relation to the development of their OLE.
