Quality assurance of multimedia learning materials


To address quality concerns of multimedia learning materials, the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) spearheaded an initiative to develop a framework for quality assurance in which is seconded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia. Over the past one year, two core groups, one each in India and Malaysia, comprising academics, practitioners and industry have been grappling with developing a framework. Periodically, through various stages of development, wider consultations have also been held in both countries. The draft framework is available through this link.

We are looking for feedback and inputs on the draft framework.
