Leading the quality management of online learning environments in Australian higher education

Abstract: The paper presents the findings of the first year of a nationally funded Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) project on the quality management of online learning environments by and through distributed leadership. The project is being undertaken by five Australian universities with major commitments to online and distance education. Each university, however, has a distinctive location, history and profile in the sector. The first year of the project has seen the development of a quality management … Show more

“…While research into this area appears relatively sparse, recent research in Australia seems to suggest that adopting distributed leadership models in higher education can be successful (Harkin and Healy 2013) with the approach proving especially useful in relation to leading the quality management of on-line learning environments (Holt et al 2013, Holt et al 2014 and in building leadership capacity in learning and teaching (Jones et al 2014, Jones et al 2012. What is less clear, however, is how useful adopting a distributed leadership model is in relation to supporting academic staff in a research-led environment, which is something this paper hopes to address.…”

“…At the time the 360QP was under development, at least two Australian Higher Education institutions had developed broad learning and teaching quality frameworks: Deakin University's Learning Futures (Deakin University, 2013) and the University of Wollongong's Curriculum Transformation (University of Wollongong, 2014). Other institutions and Australian Government-funded projects (e.g., Krause et al, 2013;Lawson et al, 2013) made significant contributions to quality enhancement, but only to specific aspects such as benchmarking (Booth, 2013) and online quality management (Holt et al, 2013). The sector was rated as having an "undeveloped approach to Assurance of Learning" (Lawson et al, 2013, p. 58).…”

“…Kuruluş tarihlerine göre Türkiye'de köklü, genç ve yeni kurulmuş üç üniversitedeki lisans öğrencilerine sosyal ve öğrenme amaçlı teknolojileri kullanımlarının tespiti için dört bölümü uygulanmıştır. Bu anket daha önce Avustralya'da değişik üniversitelerde öğrencilerin teknoloji ile ilgili deneyimleri ve beklentilerini ölçerek bu üniversitelere yeni teknolojileri nasıl adapte edecekleri ve mevcut teknolojilerin revize edilme konularında geribildirim sağlamıştır (Holt et al 2013;Gosper et al 2013) (Gosper vd. ,2013).…”
