Nevertheless, educators must continue the quest to describe the ideal learning environment and share effective practices for advancing quality. In this guide for online program administrators who want to apply the Quality Scorecard metrics to their own online programs, the writers explain the indicators and make recommendations for implementing them. Thanks to the 43 seasoned online administrators who participated in the Delphi panel that led to the Scorecard and to those who also wrote this guide. Their work and generosity testifies to the need for this collaborative effort to advance the field. Sloan-C is dedicated to improving the quality, scale and breadth of education through online and blended teaching and learning. Thus, we welcome all who wish to join in this work in progress.

Unlike most books regarding online education, this book is not about teaching; it is about effectively administrating an online education program. Grounded in existing distance education theory, and drawing from best practices, current research, and an extensive review of current literature, An Administrators Guide to Online Education systematically identifies and discusses seven key issues that affect the practice online education today: leadership and strategic planning, policy and operation, faculty, online student services, online student success, technology and the courseware management system, and finally marketing. Throughout the text, the authors provide case studies, examples, policies, and resources from actual institutions, which further enhance the value of this text. An Administrators Guide to Online Education, encompasses the issues, and provides information on how to accomplish one specific task: successful online education administration.

Instead of attempting to restrict student use of communication devices to out-of-class activities, ACU proposed to intentionally incorporate these emerging technologies into higher education. Deploying mobile devices to freshmen provided unique opportunities to explore the potentials and challenges facing the use of fully-converged mobile devices for both academic and social purposes.
