Essential Principles of Quality: Guidelines for Web-based Courses for Middle Grades and High School Students
The Essential Principles are intended to assure states, school districts and schools that courses complying with the principles will be high-quality courses that effectively get students to meet academic goals. The principles also are intended to ensure that the characteristics of good teaching and learning are addressed during the development and use of electronically delivered courses. Web-based courses should be at least the same quality as traditional courses.
