The accreditation process for a distance education program can be an imposing series of tasks. It can also be the means to improving your program and conveying its overall value to your school.
It all depends on how you approach the accreditation process. In the upcoming online seminar How to Survive a Distance Education Accreditation Review, you’ll learn the strategic and tactical elements essential for not only surviving the process, but thriving as a result.
Led by Dr. Terry Norris, director of eLearning at the College of Southern Nevada, this seminar will help you:
Learn why the accreditation process improves a distance education program.
Use the process to define the value of your program to the rest of the school.
Discover what you’ll need to do to become fully prepared for the accreditation process.
The accreditation review process may never be stress-free, but with proper preparation you can at least minimize the stress that so often accompanies it. This seminar will show you how.
