Participate in the IsL Self Evaluation Study!
“Through our participation we have broadened how we define ‘quality’ beyond the standard indicators.  A-HEC helps us look more ‘deeply’ at what quality really means.”
Russ Adkins, Associate VP of Instructional Technology at Broward Community College (FL)

A-HEC IsL Features:
Institution or Department Level. Participants can choose to audit either an entire institutional effort, or a departmental, college, divisional, or other operating unit effort. For instance, you can audit the online learning efforts of your School of Business or Continuing/Professional Education branch against like efforts. Or you can audit your entire institution. Or you can choose both!
Multiple Respondents. Participation can be done with a single respondent or multiple respondents familiar with your effort. Including more respondents allows you to get a balanced view of your initiative. We can also accomodate student respondents. So, for instance, survey key administrative leaders, key faculty leaders, and students to see how they align - while being compared against all participants!
Longitudinal Process. We have established a database that will allow you to compare progress each year against your previous results!
