Quality in Higher Education in the Caribbean (Paperback)

It celebrates the "coming of age" of the quality assurance movement in the Region by tracing the main currents of development in internal and external quality assurance.

At the same time, the chapters posit practical solutions rooted in theory and expertise, for example, checklists, frameworks, models, etc. The volume explores underrepresented areas and cutting-edge topics like MOOCs, ethics in quality assurance, administrative support in quality, tertiary TVET, legislative frameworks and strategic planning. It closes with a projection into the future of quality assurance and enhancement for the region that takes account of international and regional trends in global accreditation standards, accountability of external quality assurance agencies, and MOOCs and cross-border education. A must read for postgraduate students, higher education managers and quality assurance practitioners.
