Introduction

Over the past years, the tertiary education sector has experienced some transformation by adopting new administrative approaches. The main point being to promote accountability and of equal concern for strategic focus. Over the same span, there has been ranging debates on how to build leadership capacity as well as how to improve learning environments. The article in that respect provides a confirmatory evidence of its entity. In this respective, building a distributed leadership must involve deliberate formal leadership commitment and equally, important action must start from the top levels organizations. Further, due to the increase in demand for online education, Holt et al (2014) have depicted the need for an environment of collaboration by promoting online learning.

Method

The main objective of the authors is to report on the findings of senior leadership interviews. For purpose of thoroughness and diversity interviews were conducted nationally on distributed leadership in the quality of management of online learning environments, particularly in higher education. To authors used questionnaires as a method of collecting data. In this case, the authors targeted leaders with an understanding on the subject. Specifically, they targeted different aspects related to nature, value as well as the likelihood for advancing the quality management of online learning environments. Holt et al (2014) have provided the reliability of each questionnaire because they targeted leaders informed about distributed leadership. Diversely the questions comprehensively captured the area of study thus increasing the accuracy of the data that ascertains the findings and conclusion.

Results

Holt et al (2014) found that there was a confirmatory evidence of its entity which makes it right to conclude that building distributed leadership must start through leadership commitment starting from top management of the organization. In this case, the article is based on the content of the reviewer and the aim of the message to be passed by the authors. As a result, I resonate with the sources as the peer-viewed sources. The article is explicit and contains the in-depth information that discusses the related affairs in a well-organized manner. The authors’ findings are reliable because the investigation was covered nationally.

In this article based on the authors’, experimental investigation, they attempt to understand the correlation between distributed leadership in the quality management of online learning environments with the changing needs for collaboration in higher education. The authors’ are forthcoming about their methods and supplement the investigation with other scholarly research. The study is descriptive as well as well-researched.
