Online Course Standards...

The national education association publishes a document outlining standards for online courses. http://www.nea.org/technology/images/02onlinecourses.pdf I found it curious that the checklist for teacher quality mentions aspects such as “appropriate feedback” and “appropriate use on online voice.” It never says anything about technical skills or qualifications which are probably the things that scare most traditional classroom teachers away from online offerings. The site also offers a pretty strong checklist to determine student qualifications and key success predictors. While this was done with High School students in mind, I don’t see too many things that wouldn’t translate into any good online course standard.
