Testing is a really important phase of course development. A thorough testing process can mean the difference between a course that is polished and professional course, and one that is sloppy with loose ends.
What's your process for testing and doing QA for e-learning?
Do you have it reviewed by a SME? Copy editor? Testing group?
Consultants and freelancers, do you incorporate testing time and subsequent edits into your project plan?
Any tips or recommendations for a first time e-learning developer on how they should approach testing?
As a major proponent of quality assurance, I could create an entire lesson on QA (oh, wait, I've already done that). But in the interest of brevity and to keep this reply focused, I believe that QA starts at the documentation. In Validating Curriculum Documentation for Quality Assurance, I present a QA approach that focuses on documentation. This approach helps ensure consistency and quality in a curriculum by linking the documentation in a validation chain. How important do you think it is to start practicing QA in curriculum documentation?
