Research based solutions for distance learning/teaching procedures

Distance learning and teaching has been implemented for decades already. However, the status of DL/T curriculum at education institutions is not clearly or correctly defined in the majority of higher education (HE) institutions in different European countries. The majority of teachers tend to either enrich traditional HE curriculum with distance learning and teaching elements, but would maintain traditional study approach, or they would transfer their traditional teaching and learning experience onto virtual learning environments, but would retain the same pedagogical paradigm. In this perspective. This is also caused by lack of distance learning and teaching curriculum quality assurance procedures at education institutions. The paper aims at presenting research which resulted in establishment of distance learning and teaching organization procedures at HE institution on the basis of distance learning and teaching curriculum quality evaluation and attestation. The paper presents Vytautas Magnus University case in Lithuania, but it aims at transferring methodological approach of application of research based solutions for distance learning and teaching procedures in education institutionsEdukologijos tyrimų institutasEkonomikos katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
