EVALUATION AND COMPARISON OF EIGHT OPEN COURSEWARE BASED ON A QUALITY MODEL

Summary/Abstract: Currently, in spite of the scale, popularity, and influence of the growing movement of open educational resources and open courseware on users worldwide, there is yet no quality evaluation framework that could provide support for learners, instructors, faculty, developers, evaluators etc. We present here both an evaluation and a comparison between eight open courseware on databases, which are offered by different open courseware providers, and that comply with different open courseware paradigms. Both evaluation and comparison are based on our set of quality criteria that serve as general guidelines for development, use, modification, evaluation, and comparison of open educational resources and open courseware, from a social and constructivist perspective.
