Quality Assessment of Digitalization of Higher Education:The OECD's Experience
The digital transformation of higher education has become a trend of global education reformation,and how to evaluate its effect is the focus of many countries and international organizations.Considering the obstacles faced by member countries and their explorations carried out in the early stage,OECD(Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development)has developed a quality assessment standard for the digitalization of higher education on the basis of a closed-chain quality assessment framework of"digital preparation,digital practice and digital performance".This standard covers the three stages of"planning and adjustment,implementation and monitoring",and provides systematic and authoritative operation guide and toolkit for the quality assessment of digitalization of higher education from eight aspects of"development strategy,material foundation,multi-party collaboration,teaching quality,digital literacy,external support,monitoring procedures and effect feedback".The OECD's quality assessment standard is a three-dimensional system which covers the whole process,integrates multiple levels and includes diverse elements,reflecting the feature of"advanced development in structure,comprehensive integration in content and self-driving in operation".It can not only help decision-makers to comprehensively examine the needs,challenges,risks and concerns in the digital transformation of higher education,but also provide highly operational strategies for higher education institutions to effectively improve the quality of digitalization,and that contributes new solutions to seeking for breakthroughs in the digital transformation of education.China can learn from OECD's experience and strive to build a quality assessment standard,which may focus on the advancement and development in its exploring ideas,the comprehensiveness and applicability in its content and the diagnostics and drivability in its orientation,so as to further guide the digital transformation of China's higher education.
