摘要：We continue to be concerned with improving the quality in open learning, and this is achieved through building in student interactivities and through adding on student support services. We still do not have a simple definition of what constitutes quality, or quality assurance. Several quality assurance frameworks have been proposed in recent years - and these often stretching to 20 or 30 pages listing simply every possible aspect. Of much more concern to us is that instituting one or more or all of these components of quality have not yet been demonstrated through rigorous research to improve the achieved learning by a student. Accordingly the research field is wide open at the moment. We need more research into what exactly is quality, and which aspect has been found to improve learning.
