I found this report (47 page PDF) on the Online Learning Consortium website, but it demanded personal information (tsk) before it would give me a download link. It's available without a spamwall from the ICDE website. The document itself is undated, but appears to be from July, 2019. The contents are as advertised in the title. The report is based on interviews with senior leaders in ICDE member institutions. Three themes emerged: first, "there is still an issue with consistent standards being used by governing bodies for quality through the accreditation process"; second, "appropriate training is not always available to build the expertise and skills of faculty and staff"; and third, "distance learning can be as effective as traditional learning; however, this is not the case in all regions."
