Abstract:

Delivery of ``quality" education is a major element of the mission statements of the world's tertiary institutions. Quality has emerged as an important academic performance metric and can have significant impact on the reputations of individuals, departments, faculties and institutions. This paper explores quality and quality assurance (QA) from several perspectives, production and manufacturing, service provision and personal growth, relating them to current QA frameworks and practices in computing.
