In this video, I explore the key methodologies that support high-quality online education and learning experiences. Focusing on three widely recognized frameworks, Quality Matters (QM), the National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQ), and the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Model, I examine how each guides course design, instructional effectiveness, and student engagement.
The presentation highlights areas of convergence and divergence across these frameworks and explains how they collectively inform best practices in online teaching and learning. I also share how these quality standards can be applied in real-world educational settings, particularly within K–12 blended learning environments.
If you're looking to deepen your understanding of what makes an online course effective and engaging, this video provides a strong foundation grounded in proven instructional design methodologies.
