Back by Popular Demand - CAP/CAEL Webinar: Quality Standards for Accelerated Learning Programs
| BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Quality Standards for Accelerated Learning Programs -- This webinar was first offered in January 2012 and many who were unable to participate at that time have requested that we offer it again. So in response, we have scheduled an encore webinar for June 5, 2012.
In this time of accountability and scrutiny by many agencies, the Commission for Accelerated Programs (CAP) created its Quality Standards for Accelerated Programs from its research and documentation of best practices. These standards provide a touchstone in the continuing quest for the highest possible quality in the programs provided in an accelerated format. This webinar will discuss each of the nine standard areas in detail with suggested documentation for institutions. In addition, the new Model for Good Practice in Accelerated Programs in Higher Education, which was ratified by the CAP Executive Board in December 2011, will be discussed. The accelerated program leadership for any institution who is planning for a regional accreditation visit within the next year should attend this webinar.
Introduced by: Diana Bamford-Rees, Associate VP, CAEL
Facilitated by: Royce Ann Collins, Kansas State University and Patricia Ellis, Stevenson University
The webinar will be held Tuesday, June 5, 2012 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Central time. Click here to register.
CAEL and CAP members save on registration! The cost to CAEL or CAP members is $185, or $315 for non-members.

Customized for your Institution: CAP Onsite Workshops!

The workshop titled “Writing Graduate Level Curriculum in an Accelerated Program” was attended by affiliated faculty, administrators, and admissions/advising staff.

The interactive, hands-on workshop included: characteristics of adult learners, attributes of graduate level curriculum, writing program learning outcomes, direct and indirect assessments, application, and incorporating technology.
