Five Pillars of Quality Online Education

The Sloan Consortium with 1,200 institutional members dedicated to quality in online learning promote five aspects to consider in developing online classes:

1. Learning Effectiveness
2. Student Satisfaction
3. Faculty Satisfaction
4. Cost Effectiveness and Institutional Commitment
5. Access

As one begins to design a program or a course, it is important to consider these aspects and how you will assess each of these as you move forward.
