Mathieu Plourde on 15 May 15"If administrators really wanted to improve the quality of any particular online course, they would cut the professor a check and walk away. No, I'm not talking free money here. There'd be a call for proposals, and reports at the end to demonstrate that the professors who got the money did what they said they'd do. All the usual accountability measures. If the professor needs help making this happen, then they can call the instructional designers rather than the other way around. If administrators wanted to find a place to fund these checks, they could just cut out all the money going to for-profit Silicon Valley startups rather than the actual educational experience and give it to faculty instead."
