Fanshawe College Teaching Quality

In order to enhance and uphold the quality and consistency of our online and blended courses, Fanshawe College has accepted the Quality MattersTM (QM) Standards.

Fanshawe as well as post-secondary institutions in North America have adopted Quality MattersTM (QM) as an overall quality assurance methodology for e-Learning. In actuality, quality management (QM) refers to a set of quality standards for online and blended course design, a faculty-centered peer review process for online and blended courses, a tool used by instructional design staff when working with faculty, and a chance for both faculty and staff to advance their careers.

The measurement of the quality of traditional face-to-face (web-enhanced) courses can also use many of the QM framework's components. Fanshawe's set of core teaching skills, which reflect quality standards that abide by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD) requirements for evaluating effective teaching, and which direct opportunities to support faculty members, are complemented by QM.

Student Teacher Ratio

The student-professor ratio is 20: 1.
