Hellenic Open University (HOU) is the Leader of WP2, which will study the different assessment methods used in e-learning environments around Europe resulting to the definition of the most widely used assessment practices and helping the partners (from Germany, Austria, Lithuania, Greece, Finland and Sweden) improve the practices they currently apply.

Stefani, Antonia; Kameas, Achilles Educational Content in Open and Distance Learning Environments: an insight into the use of standards and guidelines for evaluation (Proceeding) Thessaloniki, Greece, 2013.

However, models have been used mostly for the purpose of understanding, rather than improving. In this work we present a new framework for the quality evaluation of digital material mapped to its life-cycle process: quality control procedures are mapped to every phase, from initiation and design to dissemination via Learning Management Systems. Assessment is not a simple procedure, since digital material is not as simple as data is and thus ISO standards are not directly applicable. We show how educational, technical and managerial principles need to be applied in order to obtain a complete, flexible and practical model of quality life cycle. We propose instantiating quality models with the specific purpose not only to understand the current digital learning material but also to improve quality through its life cycle. },keywords = {Assessment, certification guidelines, Digital Educational content, Lifecycle Model, Open and Distance Learning, Quality Assurance}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {proceedings} } <div style="text-align: justify;">Educational content and its quality evaluation has been the subject <span style="line-height: 1.538em;">of abundant research.
