Accrediting Commissions, including the North Central Association for Higher Education Commission and the Accrediting
Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council are today evaluating the contributions of full-time and adjunct
faculty toward the overall learning environment. Institutions, colleges and universities are now expected to have in place
objective measures that prove the overall worth of faculty to their students. Accrediting Commissions are measuring if:
- Faculty and administrators routinely review the effectiveness and uses of the organization’s program to assess
student learning.”
- Faculty is involved in defining expected student learning outcomes and creating the strategies to determine whether
those outcomes are achieved.
- Faculty and administrators routinely review the effectiveness of the organization’s program to assess student learning.
Why use a Neutral Third-Party Evaluator?
While evaluation can be done by in-house staff, accrediting agencies and the public respect information that is gathered by
someone one not controlled by the institution. Here a third-party evaluator, who is knowledgeable about and experienced with
the components of an evaluation and with the distance education teaching methods can bring creditability to the evaluation
process. A benefit of using a neutral third-party evaluator is that they can honestly review the distance education process
because they have working knowledge of the educational process, and provide that unbiased evaluation.
