Abstract
Accountability is a complex process in any organizational learning experience and even more so in distance-learning environments. Some of the complications include issues of measuring performance, using authentic assessments, meeting performance-based standards, and integrating all with distance-learning technologies. This paper describes online-accountability innovations used in distance-learning programs and how these online tools help students provide evidence of their readiness for educational-leadership positions.
