Quality Should Be Visible in How Education Is Designed and Delivered

Program Development
Learning should have a defined purpose, coherent structure, relevant subject matter, and learning expectations appropriate to the program.
Assessment
Assessment provides a structured means of determining whether applicable learning requirements have been successfully completed.
