    If you want the inside scoop on just about any British higher education institution, check out this valuable resource:

    The QAA is the recently created British version of an American accreditor. It conducts quality reviews and periodic site visits to ensure that chartered universities and their many collaborating colleges remain up to spec.

    The QAA publishes their reports on-line, including general institutional reviews, reviews of things like DL or collaborative provision, investigations of allegations of substandard practices, and subject-matter reviews of individual departments.

    I think that this is a practice that the American accreditors might want to emulate.
