- Define quality metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the online course.
- Develop a systematic approach to evaluate the course’s content, structure, and interactivity.
- Outline feedback mechanisms that will allow for continuous course improvement based on learner engagement.
Expected Deliverables:
- A detailed QA and learner engagement analysis plan in a DOC file.
- A breakdown of quality metrics, evaluation methods, and suggested interventions.
Key Steps:
- Identify and describe quality standards that apply to online education, particularly in agribusiness.
- Create a framework outlining methods for quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the course.
- Develop strategies to collect and analyze learner feedback, such as surveys or focus group outlines.
