How the Higher Education Act Affects Your Online Courses


60-Minute Recording of Audio Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast May 28, 2009 • $229

The Higher Education Opportunity Act has generated a lot of buzz among online educators lately—and it isn’t good.

The buzz is that the HEOA requires very costly and very complex changes to online programs, and that it’s going to create major challenges for the people who run them.

In this case, the buzz is absolutely correct.

The HEOA is going to wreak havoc in online learning, particularly in the areas of academic integrity and student authentication.  

In How the Higher Education Act Affects Your Online Courses, Fred Lokken, Chair of the Instructional Technology Council of the American Association of Community Colleges, will explain in straightforward, hype-free terms what it is that the HEOA really means to you. In a fact-filled, 60-minute presentation, he’ll examine:

• The exact nature of the HEOA’s provisions on eLearning.
• The uncloseable door the HEOA opens on issues of accountability and monitoring.
• What your campus administrators need to know about potential compliance costs.
• The critical discussions you need to have with your regional accreditation agency.
• Why you should be involved in implementation strategies at the regional level.
• Which resources you need to monitor as the DofE and regional agencies move forward.
• Program planning and prioritization recommendations you should make now on your campus.
• And more.

It’s critical to your school, your online programs and your planning that you get the facts early and map out a coherent strategy. This seminar will help you chart a course for success.

You’ll appreciate the value
With budgets tight, it’s important to get the most from your professional development budget … and that makes seminar CDs like this one an especially smart buy. There are none of the costs associated with an off-site presentation – no travel costs, lodging, meal expenses, etc.
