Stockholm (SE), September 2008 - A report on evaluating eLearning in higher education titled ELearning: aspects and criteria for the evaluation of eLearning in higher education has been published by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (HSV). The report is part of HSV's attempt to improve awareness about quality in eLearning and how this can be evaluated within the framework of the national quality-assurance system.
Although the question of eLearning has been highlighted in many European contexts and in individual countries, it is only recently that the question of how the quality of eLearning should be assessed has arisen. In fact, many view it as an irrelevant issue. A central basis of the evaluation model that is presented is the review of current research within the field that is also included in the report.
The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education's view is that eLearning must be assessed from a system perspective, and if a national agency or other organisation is to evaluate eLearning, it is not sufficient to develop quality aspects. The organisation evaluated also needs to develop and adapt its own working methods and ensure the competence of its staff.
