NagaEd’s Course Quality Assurance Checklist is a practical evaluation tool designed for schools, administrators, and educators to ensure every digital course meets rigorous academic, pedagogical, and technical standards.

The QA checklist evaluates a course across 9 key criteria, aligned with the Course Design Standards:

Confirms whether a welcome video or onboarding instructions are available for new learners.

Ensures that contact info, photos, and roles of instructors are provided.
