Custom QA Programs

Higher education institutions face mounting pressure to demonstrate quality in online and hybrid courses, but often struggle with one-size-fits-all QA approaches that don't align with institutional goals, limited resources and competing priorities, disconnected processes that create redundant work, and resistance from faculty who see QA as a burden rather than a benefit.

The CalibrEd Approach: Rather than imposing generic solutions, I create customized quality assurance programs that work within your existing systems and culture. By grounding recommendations in proven frameworks while respecting your institution's unique context, my approach transforms quality assurance from a compliance exercise into a strategic advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typical implementation timelines range from 3-6 months, depending on the scope and complexity of your needs. We'll establish clear milestones and can phase implementation to align with your academic calendar.

Not necessarily. While I leverage proven frameworks like Quality Matters, OLC Quality Scorecard, and OSCQR, your custom program can adapt these to your specific needs or blend elements from multiple frameworks.

We'll establish clear metrics aligned with your institutional priorities, which typically include student success indicators (completion rates, satisfaction, performance), faculty adoption rates, and accreditation readiness.

Your custom program will include specific strategies for faculty engagement, including showcasing early successes, faculty recognition programs, and emphasizing how QA supports rather than restricts teaching innovation.
