Abstract
There are tools available for educators to use to assure the quality of the student experience. Ultimately quality assurance is about trust – utilizing processes so that students, faculty, and institutions trust the quality of the open educational resources they are using. What are symbols of trust? Attributions are an essential element such as CC BY. Other elements that build trust are: (1) providing information that allows the user to evaluate the quality of the content before using it such as describing how the curriculum was developed, posting it in a collection of educational material such as Skills Commons, and posting in places where a peer review process is used to evaluate content; (2) using methods to ensure quality of instructional design such as having learning objectives and activities that measure the success of students and using quality metrics and rubrics; (3) assuring that all learners have equally effective access to learning and succeeding – make it a fore thought not an afterthought – by utilizing tools that minimize accommodation issues as much as possible and provide avenues to provide equally effective alternative access to an educational experience so all can learn; and (4) putting quality assurance into educational practices.
