However, colleges and universities have been equally compelled to address the risks “going virtual” have created to their online learning platforms, the potential long term financial risks because of extra unexpected expenses, and the brand risk if students are dissatisfied with how they have responded. As institutions evaluate their processes related to delivering curriculum online, there are several challenges and recommendations for leadership to consider. Internal Audit can play a key role in helping process owners across campus assess their operations and make recommendations to address control and compliance gaps and enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and constituent (faculty and student) satisfaction. Join us for this timely panel discussion where presenters will: - Identify common challenges and compliance concerns, across topics such as course development and delivery, institutional resources, academic integrity, and information technology - Provide considerations for addressing common challenges and compliance and regulatory requirements - Share best practices and lessons learned Presentation Slides Audio Recording Handout
