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. Why do members join?
