Welcome to OLC
Leading professional organization devoted to
excellence in online learning.
• We offer professional development, instruction, best practice
publications and guidance to educators, online learning
professionals and organizations around the world
• We provide premium opportunities to network, discover and share
views on online learning at conferences and events
• Founded over two decades ago, we continue to be a key factor in
the transformation of the e-Education field
The real value…being part of a global community
Empowering Educators Everywhere
Established in 1995, we’ve been leading the charge for
excellence in online learning for two decades.
Our foundation for successful online learning:
OLC’s Five Pillars of Quality Online Education
QUALITY FRAMEWORK
The Five Pillars
Learning effectiveness is concerned with ensuring that online students are provided with a
high quality education -- meaning that online students’ learning should at least be equivalent
to that of traditional students.
Scale is the principle that enables institutions to offer their best educational value to learners
and to achieve capacity enrollment – that means a commitment to quality resources for
continuous improvement policies for cost-effectiveness measures and practices.
Access provides the means for all qualified, motivated students to complete courses, degrees,
or programs in their disciplines of choice. The goal is to provide meaningful and effective
access throughout the entire student’s life cycle.
Faculty Satisfaction means that instructors find the online teaching experience personally
rewarding and professionally beneficial – including three categories: support, rewards, and
institutional study/research.
Student satisfaction reflects the effectiveness of all aspects of the educational experience.
The goal is that all students who complete a course express satisfaction with course rigor
and fairness, with professor and peer interaction, and with support services.
