Abstract Description : What does quality look like in online learning—and how can schools, educators, and leaders ensure it? This quick, practical session introduces the National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQOL.org)—a nationally recognized framework that defines what high-quality online courses, teaching, leading, and programs look like. Learn how the standards were developed through a collaborative, research-based process, explore why they matter in today’s digital learning landscape, and discover free tools and resources to help you apply them in your own context.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the purpose, structure, and development of the three NSQ standards sets - Courses, Teaching, Leadership, and Programs.
Identify practical ways to use the NSQ standards and supporting resources to guide quality improvement, professional learning, and program evaluation.
