A framework for quality of learning resources

Abstract

To better understand the complex question of quality of web-based learning resources it is beneficial to look at the different processes during the life of a learning resource; what are the aspects of quality that are related to the creation of material, its discovery and eventually its use and re-use for learning purposes. Obviously this involves different roles which should be distinguished as quality aspects are different for those roles. This chapter therefore looks at the different processes related to learning resources and the roles involved in these processes with the aim to understand the quality aspects of the processes as well as the roles, which have responsibilities regarding the quality for these processes.
