This document discusses establishing a systematic quality development process for e-learning at Munich University of Applied Sciences. It presents the challenges of developing a quality model given the complex stakeholder interests. It reviews existing quality management systems like the Learner-Oriented Quality Certification and ISO 29990 standards and adapts them to develop Munich University's own quality concept. This concept focuses on evaluation indicators, documenting work processes, and counseling standards. While this allows for continuous improvement, the process of developing and aligning the concept involved balancing different perspectives and priorities with limited resources.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is framework for the improvement of quality. It involves doing things right first time and every time. For its successful implementation, there is a strong need of everyone’s participation from the institution rather than the only involvement of only senior management. Successful completion of the product requires the student to participate as a worker, co managing the learning process. Standardized descriptions of Quality Management has to be understood, in this mission.
Quality assurance of MOOCs: The OpenupEd quality labelJon Rosewell
The OpenupEd quality label is a quality enhancement approach to e-learning, tailored specifically to MOOCs. I will briefly introduce the OpenupEd quality label, show how it relates to other e-learning quality frameworks, and outline the ways in which it can be used, ranging from informal self-assessment to a full external review. Which of the benchmarks could contribute to enhanced design of MOOCs? Are the benchmarks sufficiently detailed? Do they capture all important aspects?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. The challenge of quality development I
Quality is a context-depending concept – can only be defined in
a complex negotiation process, including all stakeholders
In education: students are co-producers of quality
Quality assurance, quality management, quality development ?
Many quality management systems established, some
transferred to the realm of education ->always need adaptation
and customization
E-learning support services:
contributes to teaching quality but not teaching!
Slide 5
INTED 2013
Patricia Arnold, arnold@hm.edu
6. The challenge of quality development II
Complex social arena an e-learning center operates in:
Which interests should be given priority?
How much flexibility should a brick & mortar university offer?
Which tools should be supported?
Which services should be provided centrally , which locally?
-> a customized in-house concept, aligned with established quality
models
-> “keep it simple, small and manageable” due to resource
restrictions
Slide 6

7. Learner-oriented Quality Certification for Further
Education Organizations (LQW)
WHY?
•focus on learner and learning process
(specialized on education)
•Adapted version for „service and counseling“
organizations (KQB)
•Focus on quality development that fosters
organizational learning

•focus on service provision
•Business efficiency perspective
•Internationally compatible

9. Quality Concept for MUAS ELC
•e-learning strategy
•Successful support services
•Indicators for
evaluation •Needs of faculty and students
•Scrutinzed against resources
•Indicators for
documenting
work
•Landscape of key
processes
•Standards for the counseling process &
selection of communication channels
Slide 9

Patricia Arnold, arnold@hm.edu
10. Critical Assessment & Conclusions
Compact and condensed yet incorporating other organizations’
experiences
Allows continuous quality improvement!
CAVEAT: needs one full cycle to gain valid insights
YET: “Keep it simple, small and manageable” -> lends itself
easily to expansion ->rigorous prioritizing is needed!
YET: Extra quality area “counseling & communication” as part
of key processes – how helpful is this for the workflow?
YET: University quality management system not yet
established – modifications needed for alignment?
PROCESS: different perspectives of steering committee
valuable but also tiresome – YET first step of quality work
done!
