Course summary – second session:

Talking about the importance of having quality standards in digital learning has become associated with talking about digital learning itself. Because of the importance of quality standards in creating distinguished digital education this has become the biggest challenge to prove the effectiveness of digital learning. In this course session I will introduce quality standards for teaching digital courses, reflecting on similarities and differences of various frameworks. This will include the standards of course design formulated by the most famous international organizations that set these standards with practical application in mind.
