PrAISE is our formalised approach to assessing the quality of off-the-shelf eLearning courses.
High Production values – lest not forget that the process of creating eLearning is not unlike the process of creating a Hollywood movie or a TV drama and it is all down to working to high production values with whatever media you are using. This means paying attention to the quality of the script writing, creative treatments and the audio and visual media.
Learning Assessments that matter – assessing the learner’s level of understanding is a critical part of the learning process itself, as well as of value to the organisation in terms of a measure of the effectiveness of learning. The assessment methods should offer a degree of challenge and force the learner to think and reflect on what they have learnt.
Interactions that encourage critical thinking – what makes eLearning different to other forms of self-study is learner interaction. Good instructional design recognises the need for frequent interactions yet also that every interaction must have purpose and encourage the learner to reflect more deeply about what they are learning.
Logical Structure, flow and signposting – just as in other forms of learning or communication the content needs to be well structured so that it tells a story from start to finish and provides ‘signposting’ along the way.
Created with the necessary Expertise to offer a credible learning programme. Expertise is provided by subject matter experts and any eLearning development team must utilise appropriate SMEs to create a valuable, accurate and credible course.
We undertake a detailed review of a sample of courses from each of our publishers and rate courses with a score of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) against each of the above criteria to generate an overall quality score between 1 (lowest) and 5 (highest).
