Paper Abstract:	As much of the world is still facing and coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, what can we do, as a connected global educational community, to share research-supported best practices and quality standards for teaching and learning to support each other and help institutions and students achieve their educational goals? Can a US-based, research-supported approach to quality assurance and continuous improvement in online and digital learning, developed for and adopted by over 1200+ higher educational institutions, K-12 schools, and other educational organizations mainly in English-speaking communities for over 15 years, be adapted to educational systems and environments outside of USA? What strategies work best and what considerations need to be employed in initiating and sustaining collaborations and globalizations of best practices in culturally and pedagogically different educational communities? The presenter from a leading US-based quality assurance organization will share their experience working with various institutions and organizations in non-English speaking regions and their strategies and considerations applied to initiate and develop collaborations and partnerships with the goal to contribute to the establishment of quality assurance processes for online, blended and digital learning for international communities.
