To develop a quality scorecard to evaluate the administration of
online education programs.
Purpose
![Page 4: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Need For This Study
Quality Assurance (Bates & Poole, 2003; Meyer, 2004; Sallis, 1996).
From the beginning, the quality of online education was questioned (Benson, 2007).
Standards must be clearly defined (Institute for Higher Education Policy, 1998, 2000; Khan, 2005; Lee & Dziuban, 2002; Leh & Jobin, 2002; Meyer, 2002; Onay, 2002; Shelton & Saltsman, 2005; Stella & Gnanam, 2004; Suryanarayanaravu, Srinivasacharyulu, & Mohanraj, 1995).
Tool for evaluation, benchmarking, and strategic planning.

Quality Assessment in Higher Education
Rankings in US News and World Report
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
Regional and discipline specific accreditation
Need for continuous improvement strategy Public accountability Total Quality Management Balanced Scorecard Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
• Most valid (Badri et al., 2006; Ruben, Russ, Smulowitz & Connaughton, 2006)
![Page 6: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
From the Literature…
Several recommended groups of standards (14 different articles and studies)
WCET, CHEA, IHEP 24 Quality Standards , Bates’ ACTION model, Sloan Consortium Five Pillars
The IHEP 24 standards was highly referenced in the literature and therefore used as a beginning list of indicators.

Methodology
Delphi Method Structured flow of information using a series of systematic
surveys and reciprocal feedback Used to gain consensus from a panel of experts
(informed judgments) • The experts were widely located throughout the United States
Results were fed back to the panel of experts in Six surveys rounds--18 weeks (total time used).

Research Questions
1. Are the standards identified in the IHEP/NEA study in 2000 still relevant today for indicating quality in online education programs in higher education?
2. What additional standards should be included that address the current industry in 2010?
3. If additional standards are suggested, will they fall into the already identified themes or will new themes emerge?
![Page 13: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Research Questions
4. What values will be assigned to the recommended standards that will ultimately yield a numeric scorecard for measuring quality online education programs from an online education administrator’s perspective that could also support strategic planning and program improvements?
![Page 14: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Instrumentation
Combination of open and closed questions
The 24 quality standards identified by IHEP for Round I Open-ended for additional standards and categories.

Delphi Survey
Each survey round was open for two weeks After one week, a follow-up email was sent
Data analyzed to develop next round survey Mean scores/suggestions for additional
quality standards and standards revisions were fed back in the next survey round.
![Page 16: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Data Analysis
Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or more agreement
were included in subsequent surveys Those with mean scores of below 4 were fed back one
additional time for final disapproval or during the first few rounds.
If consensus was not achieved, 70% of response choices were fed back to panel in the next round.
![Page 17: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Results
Are the standards identified in the IHEP/NEA study in 2000 still relevant in 2010 for indicating quality in online education programs in higher education?
A form of all 24 indicators were included in the quality scorecard (23 relevant, 1 completely revised)
22 of the 24 indicators were revised.
![Page 18: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Results
What additional standards should be included that address the current industry in 2010?
The panel suggested a total of 80 potential quality indicators. • 45 quality indicators were approved and included in the scorecard.
Adding these 45 indicators to the 25 indicators stemming from the IHEP study yielded a total of 70 quality indicators.
![Page 19: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Results
If additional standards are suggested, will they fall into the already identified themes or will new themes emerge?
Twenty were suggested: Three categories achieved consensus; • Only two were added to the scorecard: Technology Support (divided
from the original IHEP Institutional Support) and Student and Social Engagement.
The Instructional Design category that achieved panel consensus was combined with Course Development.

Guidelines for Scoring
0 points = Not Observed. The administrator does not observe any indications of the quality standard in place.
1 point = Insufficiently Observed. The administrator has found a slight existence of the quality standard in place. Much improvement is still needed in this area.
2 points = Moderate Use. The administrator has found there to be moderate use of the quality standard. Some improvement is still needed in this area.
3 points = Meets Criteria Completely. The administrator has found that the quality standard is being fully implemented and there is no need for improvement in this area.
![Page 23: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Guidelines for Scoring
A perfect score = 210 points. 90-99% = 189-209 - Exemplary (little improvement is
needed) 80-89% = 168-188 - Acceptable (some improvement is
recommended) 70-79% = 147-167 - Marginal (significant improvement is
needed in multiple areas) 60-69% = 126-146 - Inadequate (many areas of
improvement are needed throughout the program) 59% and below = 125 pts and below - Unacceptable

Questions
How is this different from Quality Matters? QM is a course rubric, this examines the entire program.
Why are these quality indicators important? Because a panel of experts were brought to consensus
through the Delphi process. (43 very seasoned administrators)
Can I use the scorecard freely without constraints? The scorecard is free to use. To use the interactive scorecard on the website, you must
be a Sloan-C institutional member.
![Page 47: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Questions
Will Sloan-C be convening special interest groups around this? Commons site
Why should Sloan-C endorse this scorecard since it doesn’t have everybody’s input? Panel of experts with most 9 or more years Inviting you to join our commons site and participate in
ongoing discussions. Why is the scorecard input based and not output?
The scorecard offers broad goals for outputs but focusing on things administrators has influence on.
![Page 48: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Questions
Can I give the scorecard to others? Yes, share the link
• http://tinyurl.com/qualitysc Will my information be private or public?
Private, we will not share the information you provide. Will we be comparing scores?
We are working on a process that would compare them anonymously by groups of peer institutions.
How can we use the results from others to help? To see where other programs’ strengths are.
Why isn’t the score normalized (100 points)? The expert panel felt that the graduated scale of 0-3 points per
indicator was the best measure.
![Page 49: A Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Education … · Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics Mean Scores and Standard Deviation Mean score of 4 and above with 70% or](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bc0d83dd07d382e42eefc/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
How can I obtain a consultation on my program? We are developing a business model now and have some
of the expert panelist that are using the scorecard and could help with evaluation.
Send requests to [email protected] What if I already have a list of standards that I
use? The scorecard should mesh with other standards easily The Sloan-C pillars of quality aligned easily.
