Exploring the Mechanisms for Assuring Quality of e-Learning Courses in UK Higher Education Institutions, Magdalena Jara and Harvey Mellar, European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning (EURODL), March, 2007. Abstract: This paper reports on a research study aimed at understanding how dual mode higher education institutions in the UK approach the application of their internal quality assurance procedures to their online courses in order to allow them to assure and enhance their quality. The research strategy aimed to identify whether the procedures implemented were capturing the aspects that characterise online courses. A case study approach allowed an examination of the procedures as well as the features of the courses under study. The results indicate that the specific quality assurance procedures most affected by the online modality were module evaluations, student representation and team meetings.
