About this micro-site
The COL Quality Assurance micro-site has been designed to provide a single, convenient access point to existing resources in quality assurance in open and distance learning (ODL). We hope that it will be of particular use to institutions, researchers and governments seeking to establish benchmarks for quality provision and to all those who are interested in devising effective systems for the review and evaluation of ODL programmes.
For ease of reference, the site is divided into topic-based sections with links to websites and other resources relevant to each topic that are available without subscription on-line. You can navigate through sections of this micro-site clicking on the headings that appeear on the left.
As the field of ODL is changing rapidly with advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs), we cannot hope to cover all existing resources. However, by providing links to the websites of important players in the field of quality assurance and ODL, we hope to provide a means of keeping abreast of the latest thinking in the field.
The site is maintained and managed by COL. Please contact info@col.org if you have any questions or suggestions for improvement of this resource.
