A novel method to judge the quality of E-learning material
Outline
• Project background• Goals • Assessment method• Assessment procedure• Results
Project background
• E-learning is hot • The amount is ever growing• Often the wheel gets re-invented
www.medicaleducation.nl• Medical E-learning
centralised in one database
• 900+• Searchable• undergraduate
Promising!• E-learning in www.medicaleducation.nl
could be used for post graduate courses
Problem:• Traditional post graduate courses are
assessed by a committee and awarded points for quality (accreditation)
• Doctors need to score a certain amount of accreditation points each year
• No objective quality assessment method to award points to medical E-learning

Goals PASTEL-project
• Developing a quality assesment method for E-learning modules
• Stimulating the use of the approved E-learning in post-graduate courses
Assessment method• Two kinds of assessment:
– medical content– educational soundness
Criteria medical content:
• Correctness of content– Absence of sponsors– Target audience– Estimated time to complete– User-friendliness
• Based on national accreditation guidelines
Educational criteria:
– Are learning goals stated?– How is feedback provided?– How is multimedia used?– How are participants tested?
• Based on researchliterature on effective E-learning
Mayer (2001) “Multimedia learning", Alessi & Trollip (2001) "Multimedia for learning", Cook & Dupras (2005) “a practical guide to developing effective webbased learning”
Assessment procedure
Weighing process• Most important criteria:
– Does it reflect the latest medical guidelines?– Is it based on good medical practice?– Is it unbiased and free of advertising?– Is it right for the target audience?
– Are goals formulated?– Is feedback provided correctly?
If all are answered “YES”
One or more “NO”• E-learning module gets sent back to
developer with comments by the experts• If developer improves the E-learning
module based on comments: → Stamp of approval
• If developer can not improve the E-learning module based on comments → Stamp of approval denied
Integration medicaleducation.nl
• Forms of assessed E-learning can be viewed medicaleducation.nl
• Approved E-learning module recognizable by stamp of approval
Results• E-learning quality assessment tool• 55 E-learning modules assessed• 33 stamp of approval• Filled out assessment forms can be viewed
in medicaleducation.nl• Approved E-learning will be used in post
graduate courses this fall
