Management of the Transition to e-Learning in Higher Education Based on Competence Quotient

This paper aims to propose a framework to manage the transition to e-learning in Higher Education by fixing a legal framework, a roadmap and key performance indicators for the recognition of online Courses as equivalent to in-class course lacks of a clear legal and procedural framework in most of the countries in the world. The lack of legislation creates a lack of visibility and transparency on the e-learning market in general and the distance learning market in particular. As a core element of recognition we propose to base the equivalence on the model of Competence Quotient (CQ) that we present in this paper. A clear legal framework for the recognition of online Courses as equivalent to in class course will create visibility and transparency on the e-learning market in general and distance learning in particular for Higher Education.
