- Abstract
- In the context of growing globalization in distance
education, there is an urgent need for international
initiatives to review quality assurance (QA] mechanisms
of distance education for higher education at the
national and institutional level, discuss new challenges
of a changing distance education environment, and
build a capacity for quality assurance to enhance the
quality provision in a globalized higher education
market.
This paper reports the results of a survey conducted
between May and early June 2004. The survey was
designed to collect data on several key aspects of an
internal quality assurance system of distance teaching
institutions, discuss similarities and differences found in
the data, and provide an opportunity for capacity
building for quality assurance to enhance the quality
provision in distance education. Nine mega distance
teaching universities and 6 other institutions responded
to the survey. The survey results show that there exists a vaiety of QA systems of distance education even though the globalization and competitiveness of higher education and the development of technology have brought distance teaching universities closer together in terms of developing a common quality culture.
