Towards Assessment of Open Educational Resources and Open Courseware Based on a Socio-constructivist Quality Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a rubric for assessing quality of open educational resources and open courseware based on our socio-constructivist quality model (QORE) that includes 70 criteria grouped in four categories related with content, instructional design, technology, and courseware evaluation. Quality is assessed from an educational point of view, i.e. how useful are such resources for various actors involved in educational processes taken into account their goals, objectives, abilities etc. QORE’s focus is on the resources’ potential to act as true open educational content available online that has a genuine educational value in this context. Several challenges of using this rubric for evaluation of such educational resources are discussed as well.
