Description

Training Coordinators’ Community of Practice (CoP) Task Force on “Learning resources quality assurance” presents a generic framework and discipline agnostic recommendations for the quality assurance of learning resources and catalogues of learning resources and/or training/learning platforms that contain such resources.

The generic QA framework defines the requirements that should be met in order to conduct QA in an efficient and effective way.

The recommendations focus on online learning resources and take the form of self-assessment checklists of criteria, which are sufficiently general to cover many fields of application, while still being easily adaptable to specific use cases. 

In line with the generic character of the recommendations, content-related criteria (e.g. topics covered or accepted, accepted types and formats, etc.) are not elaborated on. On the other hand, in support of recent efforts towards establishing training platforms and catalogues of learning resources in Europe and beyond, special attention is paid to the criteria guiding the selection of resources to be included in a platform/catalogue.
