How the Higher Education Act Affects Your Online Courses
Federal Law Changes and Online Offerings
The Higher Education Opportunity Act has generated a lot of buzz among online educators lately—and it isn’t good.
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.
Experts say the HEOA is going to wreak havoc in online learning, particularly in the areas of academic integrity and student authentication.
Fred Lokken, Chair of the Instructional Technology Council of the American Association of Community Colleges, explains in straightforward, hype-free terms what it is that the HEOA really means to you.
In this fact-filled, 60-minute presentation, he examines:
- 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.
Who will benefit:
- eLearning administrators and coordinators
- Distance learning directors
- Deans
- Vice presidents
- Faculty members
