QA/QE in E-Learning

Qulity Street sweetsOn Monday I attended a one-day Workshop on “Effective application of quality assurance & enhancement procedures to courses using e-learning” @ the University of Teesside. The event was attended by practitioners in e-learning from across the HEI sector. It was a useful day for me to discover how other institutions view QA and what e-Learning projects are being undertaken on the Pathfinder projects.

The IoE delivered the workshop in a professional and engaging way.

Thanks for this quote from Bob Hunter at Birmingham Uni which is originally attributed to Lewis Elton @ UCL. The difference between QA and QE:

“QA is about doing things better and QE is about doing better things.”
