Effective Practices in eTeaching
By Chip Donohue

Effective Practices from the Sloan Consortium (www.sloan-c.org/effective/index.asp) identifies five key elements of quality in online education: student satisfaction; access; learning effectiveness; faculty satisfaction; and institutional cost effectiveness. For each of these areas effective practices that are innovative and replicable are being collected and shared to encourage quality education online.

Synthesis of Sloan-C Effective Practices (2004, November) by Janet Moore is available online at www.sloan-c.org/publications/books/epsyn1104.pdf. The synthesis covers those effective practices submitted by members that have been reviewed, approved, and listed in the Sloan-C Effective Practices online collection. The document includes links to both the provider institutions and to the full-length effective practice posting in the collection.
