Accreditation

IAOMEI is dedicated to supporting courses that strictly follow our standards. In order for a course to receive our accreditation, it must pledge to support the 4 principels of IAOMEI:

  1. Effective Pedagogy: The teacher organizes the material effectively, the curriculum is structured and methodical, and motivated students are likely to be successful in this class.
  2. Intuitive Delivery: The materials are easy to navigate, student learning will not be slowed or stopped because of the interface or layout of the class.
  3. Rich Media: The teacher incorporates media (audio, video, and other tools), the video elements are of a sufficient resolution and the audio quality is clear. There are no unresolved or unclear copyright issues associated with the media or any part of the class.
  4. Encouraged Participation: Students are invited to engage with the class through assignments, projects, or worksheets. There is a student community opportunity (using the tools in the class or external tools like Facebook groups).
