CROSS-DOMAIN MAPPING: QUALITY ASSURANCE AND E-LEARNING PROVISION

Hilary Dexter, Jim Petch

2005

Abstract

In order to ensure that a valid and robust model of e-learning provision is developed it has to be based on a thorough understanding of the e-learning provision domain. The fullest and most detailed articulations of the e-learning development process are found in quality checklists for e-learning development. The problem this paper addresses is that posed by the situation of having knowledge used for modeling in one domain represented by artifacts in another. Using a number of checklist sources, a composite list was developed for some aspects of the e-learning development process. The checks address the activities and their artifacts that should be monitored, and what the outcomes of the checks should be in terms of what actions should be taken and what changes made if the results do not meet quality criteria. A small worked example of this cross-domain mapping process is given.
