Digital Learning Quality

Evidence-led review of online teaching and learning design.

This material is a public proposed criteria resource designed to support evidence-based self-study and later independent peer review where eligibility and authorisation are established. It does not certify an organisation, programme or degree and does not grant any European accreditation.

What can be examined

  • Learning platform accessibility and availability
  • Inclusive, well-structured online course design
  • Faculty engagement and feedback timeliness
  • Assessment integrity and identity controls
  • Data protection, learner support and improvement analytics

Sample evidence categories

  • Sample learner journeys and working LMS screenshots
  • Accessible content samples and captions/transcripts
  • Course quality checklist and lecturer support logs
  • Sample online assessment rubric and academic integrity policy
  • Student incident handling and support response evidence

Reporting and safeguards

Evidence provenance, reviewer independence, scope, material findings, outcome terminology and public decisions require an approved operational review process. Publishing a link to this page is not an evaluation result. Related-party ownership must be disclosed; no QUAA review involving an affiliated university can be marketed as independent recognition without genuine independence and legal eligibility.

Start with clarity

Evidence is stronger than an unearned seal.
