Quality of OER/eLearning E-Merge Africa Network Seminar 30 th November – 4 th Dec 2015 Dr Ephraim Mhlanga

Increasing Offerings  Prevalence of online learning: Number of online learners Number of online courses Number of institutions offering online courses  Concern about lack of sufficient regulation  National accreditation agencies no QA framework

Quality is Contested  Is it like beauty that lies in the eyes of the beholder? What does quality really mean? Who sets the quality standards? Whose interests do the standards serve? Is quality context-dependent? Are we accepting quality standards that have been developed elsewhere (and do not apply to the African context?) What specific challenges are you facing around quality?

Quality “ball on the hill” Quality standard E x c e l l e n c e Quality as standards set

Broad Quality Aspects Knowledge, Skills & Competencies quality of student engagement Quality of learner support Quality of course design
