The E‐College and quality assurance: the irresistible and the immovable

Abstract

Existing quality assurance arrangements do not consider the variations in design and delivery opportunities offered through the utilisation of emerging technologies and its application in non‐traditional forms of educational arrangements. One particular form of delivery, aided by technology, is on‐line delivery, either to the workplace or the home. This mode offers considerable significance for developing the role and principles of work‐based learning in providing a much broader population the opportunity to participate in higher education. This article reviews the development of the online E‐College and its role in work‐based learning with particular focus on the arrangements for quality assurance.
