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.

In this study, the authors intend to analyze factors contributing to research performance using Backpropagation Neural Network and Support Vector Machine. The analyzing factors contributing to lecturer research performance start from defining the features. The next stage is to collect datasets based on defining features. Then transform the raw dataset into data ready to be processed. After the data is transformed, the next stage is the selection of features. Before the selection of features, the target feature is determined, namely research performance. The selection of features consists of Chi-Square selection (U), and Pearson correlation coefficient (CM). The selection of features produces eight factors contributing to lecturer research performance are Scientific Papers (U: 154.38, CM: 0.79), Number of Citation (U: 95.86, CM: 0.70), Conference (U: 68.67, CM: 0.57), Grade (U: 10.13, CM: 0.29), Grant (U: 35.40, CM: 0.36), IPR (U: 19.81, CM: 0.27), Qualification (U: 2.57, CM: 0.26), and Grant Awardee (U: 2.66, CM: 0.26). To analyze the factors, two data mining classifiers were involved, Backpropagation Neural Networks (BPNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Evaluation of the data mining classifier with an accuracy score for BPNN of 95 percent, and SVM of 92 percent. The essence of this analysis is not to find the highest accuracy score, but rather whether the factors can pass the test phase with the expected results. The findings of this study reveal the factors that have a significant impact on research performance and vice versa.
