摘要

虽然有很多关于促进在线教育质量的原则和实践的讨论，但很少有关于大学级别的专业认证机构可以或应该做些什么来确保适当的质量水平。本研究从文献中衍生出五个实践领域，对公共政策、事务和管理学院网络(NASPAA)的144个成员机构进行了调查。本文分析了与机构支持、学生准备、教师(即教学人员)动机、课程交付一致性和系统在线质量标准相关的调查结果。研究结果强调，明确使用在线质量标准、对教师的培训、教师在线教学的动机以及对教师和学生的技术支持，与课程的感知质量相关度最高。讨论了对实践的一般性建议和对未来研究的考虑。

Considering the roles of professional accrediting bodies in online programme quality: the case of the NASPAA

ABSTRACT While there has been a good deal of discussion of what principles and practices tend to foster online education quality, there has been very little about what professional accrediting bodies at the university level could or should do to ensure appropriate levels of quality. This study uses five practice areas derived from the literature to survey 144 member institutions in the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). The article provides an analysis of the findings related to institutional support, student readiness, faculty (i.e. teaching staff) motivation, course delivery consistency and systemic online quality standards. The findings highlight that explicit use of online quality standards, training of faculty, faculty member motivation to teach online and technical support for faculty and students are the most highly correlated with perceived quality of programme. Generalisable recommendations for practice and considerations for future research are discussed.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
