Annette Burden, interim director of distance education at Youngstown State University, is leading an effort to make YSU a statewide model for quality assurance and continuous improvement in distance education. Her efforts also are intended to ensure that all of the university’s online courses meet nationally recognized standards. The effort started about a year ago, when Ohio launched Quality Matters, a faculty-centered and nationally-recognized peer review process that sets standards for the sound design of online courses. “Prior to this, there was absolutely no quality control whatsoever in these courses,” Burden said.
