ICDE Quality Network report: Global Quality Perspectives on Open, Online and Flexible Learning 2020

The ICDE Quality Network was first established in November 2016 by the appointment of regional Focal Points on Quality by the ICDE Executive Committee (now named the ICDE Board). The quality network gives advice and collects knowledge on the latest developments of quality work related to open, flexible and distance education within their institutions and regions. Prof. Emeritus Alan Tait from the Open University UK is appointed as Chair for the Quality Network and coordinates the regional Focal Points.

This global report gives an overview of perceived issues of quality and assessment related to the immediate shift to online and distance learning modalities that educators had to undertake when the pandemic hit.
