| Title: | Maintaining the Delicate Balance: Distance Learning, Higher Education Accreditation, and the Politics of Self-Regulation (ID: PUB5102) | | Author(s): | Judith S. Eaton (Council for Higher Education Accreditation) | | Topics: | Accreditation, E-Learning | | Source: | Commission for Higher Education Accreditation | | Origin: | EDUCAUSE Publications (2002) | | Type: | Books and Monographs | | Abstract: | Maintaining the Delicate Balance: Distance Learning, Higher Education Accreditation, and the Politics of Self-Regulation is the second monograph in a series of papers on distributed education commissioned by the American Council on Education (ACE) and EDUCAUSE. It describes the impact of distance learning on the balance among accreditation (to assure quality in higher education), institutional self-regulation, and the availability of federal money to colleges and universities. The paper confronts the challenges of protecting students and the public from poor-quality higher education, and attending to quality in an increasingly internationalized higher education marketplace. | | View this resource: | |
