IFAP - Dear Colleague Letters - 0 views

  •  
    he purpose of this letter is to provide guidance to address potential fraud in the Federal student aid programs at institutions of higher education that offer distance education programs. This letter provides an overview of the fraud schemes that the Department's Inspector General (IG) detected, and recommends immediate steps that institutions can take to detect and prevent fraud. In this letter, we also describe further actions that institutions can take and that the Federal government is committed to taking, including increasing technical assistance to institutions of higher education, the convening of a Department-wide task force on distance education fraud, and plans for recommending legislative and regulatory changes to address the relevant issues.

Listening to Online Education's Ombudsman - The Digital Campus 2013 - The Chronicle of ... - 0 views

  • weighty body of research suggesting that online learning can be just as good as face-to-face.
  • small sample size; inability to control for ubiquitous selection effect
  • really important is first to recognize that online learning isn't any one thing
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • lack of good estimates of likely cost savings
  • People want to simplify, and sometimes they want to oversimplify,
  • o 'disrupt' or not 'disrupt' is not the way to intelligently discuss online learning,
  • randomized experimental trials are tedious and often beside the point
  • Colleges that wait for perfect evidence risk sinking deeper into a hole
  • There can be a fine line between deliberation and inertia.
  • case for using randomized trials should itself be subject to careful cost-benefit analysis
  • best is the enemy of the good

How to Improve Public Online Education: Report Offers a Model - Government - The Chroni... - 0 views

  • Public colleges and universities, which educate the bulk of all American college students, have been slower than their counterparts in the for-profit sector to embrace the potential of online learning to offer pathways to degrees.
  • continuum of organizational levels
  • low end of the spectrum, course availability, pricing, transferability of credit, and other issues are all determined at the institutional level, by colleges, departments, or individual professors, resulting in a patchwork collection of online courses that's difficult for students to navigate.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Step 2, institutions further collaborate through shared contracts on resources, like learning-management systems
  • The first step is for state institutions to collaborate to establish a searchable clearinghouse of online courses and degree
  • report identifies five cumulative steps that build toward State U Online and gives an example of a state or system at each step
  • Step 3, systems also provide shared student-support services, such as advising, that can be used by students at all institutions in the system,
  • Step 4, an entire state, or a system of public higher-education institutions within the state, achieves all the previous levels of collaboration and in addition makes it easy for students to transfer credit among institutions.
  • enroll in a program at their "home" institution, but can easily take classes at any institution within the consortium.
  • Step 5 carries that concept beyond state borders. Students can take courses at any institution in such a multistate consortium and not worry about whether their credits will transfer, because institutional agreements within the consortium make that automatic.
  • offers practical suggestions about concerns like building sustainable revenue streams that are less dependent on allocations from legislatures, and on providing incentives and support for faculty members to offer online courses.
