Quality assurance for computer‐based teaching and learning packages

Abstract

A fundamental challenge is facing the development of multimedia teaching and learning (MTL) material, namely how to ensure that a suitable level of quality is being maintained. Argues for the use of principles of good practice as a means of ensuring quality and describes how this approach may be implemented within a university‐wide quality assurance framework. Peer review using a “Multimedia advisory group” made up of academics invited from a variety of schools, which uses a panel evaluation approach in conjunction with the set of principles of good practice, is seen as the key to maintaining quality in MTL material. It is anticipated that this will overcome a transient lack of specific quality assurance experience at the school level.
