So, as we progress in an e-learning environment, there are many issues that come to mind in regards to e-learning management.  I hadn’t before considered all the facets that comprise e-learning.  Because I never had to think about the different parts of e-learning and how everything comes together, I also never considered all the possible “glitches”  and problems that have to be addressed. Not to mention, I hadn’t realized the level of quality that needs to be established and maintained specific to e-learning classes and to e-learning overall.  I looked at the website for several universities, the on-line courses they offer, their understanding of what constitutes e-learning and how they manage their e-learning systems.  Not only are the criteria for e-learning course composition different from school to school, but the measure of quality is not exacted by regulated standards. The biggest questions that come to mind are: How do I know which e-learning programs are the best choice when selecting college courses?  How do I measure if my investment is worth the value?  Should the quality of learning be assessed by the reputation of the University or the e-learning program? For example, is my Master’s degree from UIUC on-line HRD program really and truly the same as the face-to-face program simply because both must adhere to certain reputable standards of UIUC? Or, how do I know that my education will be more valuable/knowledge acquisition be more effective if I go to UIUC rather than an on-line school which is less noted, such as American Intercontinental University?  Ultimately, what makes “e-learning” definitively quality learning and what role does e-learning management play in determining which programs are better than others and why?
