This study investigates faculty support for quality assurance in online education, and offers suggestions for its improvement based on feedback from Instructional Design (ID) staff working at a public university in the U.S. Qualitative research using semi-structured interviews was conducted with seven ID staff in order to examine their perceptions regarding faculty support related to quality assurance in online education. The results of the data analysis indicate that four types of faculty support-quality assurance reviews using Quality Matter (QM) standards, templates, individual consultations with ongoing support, and monitoring-were offered for faculty. Faculty support for quality assurance in online education could be improved by developing specific quality assurance standards, recruiting external experts, examining learning effects, developing a quality assurance management system, and sharing documents among ID staff. This study highlights the necessity of quality assurance in online education and provides cases of faculty support in a real higher education setting.

본 연구에서는 해외 원격개방대학 질 관리 사례 가운데 선도적인 것으로 알려진 영국 개방대학교와 인도네시아 터부카 대학교의 사례를 검토하여 우리나라 원격대학 질 관리 체제 구축에의 시사점을 찾아보았다. 영국 개방대학교와 터부카 대학교는 모두 재학생이 10만명 이상인 메가 유니버시티로서 효율적인 질 관리를 위해 중앙집권적인 질 관리 체제를 구축하고 질 관리를 담당하는 전담부서를 설치하고 있다. 또한 대학 구성원들이 질 관리 중요성에 대한 인식을 공유하고 직원들의 업무에 대한 평가 및 모니터링을 강화하여 지속적인 개선을 추구하는 질 관리 문화가 정착되어 있다. 교육의 질 관리는 그 성과가 가시적으로 확인되는 것도, 특정한 대가가 주어지는 것도 아니기 때문에 장시간에 걸쳐서 신중하게 계획 검토되면서 통합적으로 진행될 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 호주와 캐나다, 네덜란드 등 우리보다 외국인 유학생 교육에 적극적인 자세로 참여해 온 국가들의 외국인 유학생 교육기관 인증제의 세부 특징들을 고찰하고 이를 상호 비교 분석하여 우리나라의 외국인 유학생 교육 질 보장 체계 확립을 위한 정책적 시사점을 제공하는 것을 목표로 하여 수행되었다. 3개국의 사례 비교 분석 결과, 3개국 모두 규제 중심의 과거 자세에서 벗어나 보다 상업적 관점에서 외국인 학생의 유치와 효과적인 교육을 인증제의 주된 목표로 삼고 있었고, 이같은 목표에 따라 외국인 유학생에 대한 교육기관의 교육 역량 및 서비스 능력 개선이 인증제의 구체적인 내용을 구성하고 있었다. 또한 국제화라는 추세가 전세계적으로 중요한 변화임에는 분명하지만 적어도 인증제에서는 국제화 자체가 질 보장의 목표와 동일시되지 않는다는 점도 확인하였다. 이와 같은 비교 분석 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 올해 시행 4년차에 돌입하는 '외국인 유학생 유치·관리 역량 인증제'의 정책 목표를 분명히 하고 교육기관들의 실질적인 교육 역량 강화를 유도할수 있는 정량·정성적 평가기준을 설정할 것을 제안하였다.

The United Kingdom is known for the quality of its qualifications. There is a strict quality system with reputable bodies responsible for ensuring that high quality standards are met. In order for new qualifications to be accredited, they must meet all the requirements set out in the regulations for the quality and informatization of Education. The crucial role of the Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education (QAA) in the UK for creating high-quality management of higher education institutions is revealed, the influence of informatization tools on its effective mechanism as an independent entity is shown, and positive experience for the educational sector is highlighted. While the universities themselves are responsible for reviewing educational programs at the subject level, the QAA review focuses on verifying internal quality assurance, as well as systems and improvement strategies. The QAA uses a peer review process in which teams mostly consist of academic staff from other institutions to assess the quality of the institution's education. In Scotland, the team also includes an international reviewer. The student is also a member of the Scottish teams. In the UK, attention is paid to providing a cohort of experienced reviewers who can conduct high-quality monitoring and help with advice on improving education. All reviewers must complete training and have permission to participate in the review of educational programs. There are selected committees that are members of the QAA council, each of which is headed by a member of the Council or an independent person approved by the Council. Attention is drawn to the main areas of the QAA's work in the framework of environmental, social and corporate governance.

The purpose of the research is to analyze the status and problems of the e-Learning quality assurance system on e-Learning contents and service provider(institutes) in the field of enterprise education. In addition, the research is to suggest the direction and strategies for revising and developing the system. The research put emphasis on two systems of the e-Learning quality assurance(contents, service provider) which directly influence financial support of government. This study depended mostly on literature review, supplemented by expert panel meetings. In the case of the quality assurance system on e-Learning contents, the followings are suggested; (1)admitting the contents made of the combination of modules in the approved module set, (2)making easier the qualifying of modified contents for maintenance, (3)revising evaluation criteria, (4)providing substantial feedback. In the field of service provider, the followings are requested; (1)differentiating of qualifying system by industry and scale of company, (2)extending the qualifying cycle, (3)improving the feedback and sharing system.

Currently, accreditation within medical education is a priority on the agenda for many countries worldwide. The World Federation for Medical Education's (WFME) launch of its first trilogy of standards in 2003 was a seminal event in promoting accreditation within basic medical education (BME) globally. Parallel to that, WFME also actively spearheaded a project to recognize the accrediting agencies within individual countries. The introduction of competency-based medical education (CBME) with the two key concepts of "entrusted professional activity" and milestones has enabled researchers to identify the relationship between patient outcomes and medical education. Recent data driven by CBME has been used for the continuous quality improvement of trainees and training programmes as well. The goal of accreditation has shifted from the single purpose of quality assurance to balancing quality assurance and quality improvement. Even though there are a plethora of types of postgraduate medical education (PGME), it may be possible to accredit resident programmes on a global scale by adopting the concept of CBME. In addition, the alignment of the accreditation for BME and PGME, which center on competency, will be achievable. This argument may extend the possibility of measuring the outcomes of the accreditation itself against patient outcomes as well. Therefore, evidence of the advantages of costly and labor-consuming accreditation processes will be available in the near future and quality improvement will be the driving force of the accreditation process.

교육기관들은 e-Learning이 지속적으로 교육에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며 오프라인 교육에 대한 대안으로 증가되었기 때문에 e-Learning 품질관리를 위한 가이드라인을 제시하고 있다. 또한 e-Learning이 전통적인 교수-학습 모델과 항상 일치하지는 않으며, 서비스 설계와 구현에서 더 많은 주의가 필요하기 때문에 현재까지 다양한 e-Learning 품질관리 기법들이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 학습 객체 중심의 e-Learning 품질관리는 부분적이고 정적인 관리를 사용하기 때문에 많은 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 인과지도(CLD: Causal Loop Diagram)를 이용한 동태적인 e-Learning 품질관리를 제안하였다. 제안 방법은 기존 방법보다 더 효율적이며 e-Learning에서 관리적인 문제들에 대해서도 중요한 전략을 제공한다.
