In this episode, the instructional designers from Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation (Aaron Kraft, Celia Coochwytewa, and Jinnette Senecal) are joined by special guest Jessica Cole from ASU Online to explore several dimensions of quality in online distance education. We then consider aspects of quality from a variety of stakeholder perspectives.
