assessment of quality

• Criteria and Approaches for Evaluating Online Learning Resource Quality

  The project proposes to contribute teacher-designed learning activities (which incorporate online learning resources) to the NSDL. As part of this objective, we have outlined the following activities:

  • Based on the existing literature, develop rubrics for assessing teacher-created content.
  • Develop a model for engaging a cross-disciplinary review team (to include both resource quality experts and teachers) to assess teacher-created content.
  • Enrich the context and metadata of NSDL and online resources to support teachers in finding quality resources.
