Abstract

The issue of quality is becoming front and centre as online distance education moves into the mainstream of higher education. Many believe collaborative course development will lead to better course quality. This research uses an action research approach to probe into the collaborative course development process. Four case studies are presented to discuss the effects of the instructor/instructional designer relationship on course quality. Issues surrounding the use of quality standards as a development tool are also discussed.
