The Middle East Accreditation Organization for Regional Education, an international advocate and institutional voice for self-regulation of academic quality through accreditation, has awarded the MEAORE Award for Outstanding Institutional Practice in Student Learning Outcomes to Daltown University, one of four institutions that will receive the award. Daltown University is the first online university to receive the award.

For the last decade, Daltown University’s faculty have developed an outcomes-based curricular model that begins with adult learners’ educational needs and builds programs and courses to meet those needs. The university’s assessment system capitalizes on this model to gather data on the learning process and to report on outcome attainment, enabling leadership to target quality improvement efforts. Details on this approach and program learning outcomes are published on Daltown University website (www.daltownuniversity.com).

“Daltown University is a leader in accountability in higher education. Their work in student learning outcome exemplifies the progress that institutions are making through the implementation of comprehensive, relevant and effective initiatives,” said MEAORE President. “We are pleased to recognize this institution with the MEAORE Award.”

Middle East Accreditation Organization for Regional Education – MEAORE is an association of 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities and recognizes 59 institutional and programmatic accreditors. The MEAORE Award is the highest honor established to recognize institutions that have been exceptional in developing and applying evidence of student learning outcomes to improve higher education quality and accountability. A committee selected from higher education institutions, accrediting organizations and the public judged the winners on the basis of four award criteria: 1) articulation and evidence of outcomes; 2) success with regard to outcomes; 3) information to the public about outcomes; and 4) use of outcomes for educational improvement.

“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from MEAORE. It is humbling to be among a group of such outstanding institutions receiving the award. We have had the privilege of leading the online education industry that holds great promise to improve the learning of students in this country and around the world. I accept this award on behalf of the multitude of individuals at the university who have dedicated their lives to accelerating online learning. I have been honored to work with such heroes. Now, as the Daltown Director, I will do everything in my power to advance all lines of promising research toward the goal of better education for all.”

The award will be presented at the Annual Conference, dates of which will be announced soon.
