One powerful tool #instructionaldesigners and #faculty can use to ensure quality #digitallearning is a rubric specifically developed for their context. The Online Learning Consortium — one of Every Learner Everywhere’s partner organizations — uses research-based #qualitystandards and benchmarks to create rubrics that it calls scorecards. Some of their #qualityscorecards focus on #onlinecoursedesign, #teachingpractices in #onlinecourses, and using #courseware.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the #Equity in #Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994, a pivotal moment that established the land-grant status of #TribalCollegesandUniversities #TCUs across the United States, after many years of hard work and advocacy from the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and others. In recognition of the 30th anniversary, Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU)’s Office of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources has published a webpage dedicated to celebrating the research, #students, and accomplishments of TCUs.

There has recently been discussion around student-to-instructor ratios in #onlinecourses. Advocates argue that fewer #students allow for more personalized attention, better engagement, and improved #learningoutcomes. Smaller classes enable #instructors to provide tailored feedback and foster deeper interactions, which can be particularly beneficial in online settings where #studentparticipation may vary. However, there are also considerations regarding scalability and resource allocation for institutions. Ultimately, finding a balance between class size and quality of #education remains a crucial challenge in #onlinelearning environments. Learn more on Faculty Focus: https://ow.ly/3BXT50TRTrR
