Quality assurance is crucial in any learning environment. Instructors are the cornerstone of any blended program. For students to be successful, the instruction has to be of high quality and there needs to be clear expectations of what students need to achieve by the end of the course. It's very important that instructors organize their course well, know the content being taught, communicating with students and providing feedback. Students who are taking courses online need more support and structure to succeed because they are working independently and have more responsibility for their own success.
Teacher effectiveness can be measured in many different ways. Some ways to measure teacher effectiveness are: peer review and self-evaluation, online suggestion box, one-minute threads, polling, and focus groups. Implementing these different measures allows the instructor to adjust instruction and also to gauge students attitudes about the course. If an instructor does not include these types of measures throughout the course, it could cause student misunderstanding and decrease motivation.
Overall, teacher effectiveness and quality assurance for an online and face to face course are two components to that determine student success. Being organized and providing feedback and discussions in any course is imperative.
