NagaEd’s Courseware Evaluation Guide offers a robust framework for evaluating the quality, effectiveness, and impact of digital learning content. Designed to support Learning Management System (LMS) implementations and scalable education delivery, this guide empowers institutions to maintain high academic and technical standards while meeting the diverse needs of learners.
Four-Dimensional Evaluation Framework: Assesses Academic, Pedagogical, Didactic, and Technical quality to ensure comprehensive course design.
Custom Scoring Tool & Rubric: Uses weighted scoring and Likert-scale rubrics for objective, consistent evaluation of digital content.
Supports Continuous Improvement: Encourages iterative development through peer reviews, pilot testing, and learner feedback.
Focus on Inclusion & Accessibility: Prioritizes equitable access through WCAG compliance, device compatibility, and learner autonomy.
Practical Templates for Implementation: Includes ready-to-use tools for evaluators to assess and improve digital content.
Alignment with NEP 2020 Goals: Promotes quality assurance aligned with modern educational policy objectives.
Academic Quality
Ensures content accuracy, curriculum alignment, depth, and use of credible sources. Peer-reviewed validation by subject matter experts (SMEs) is central.
Pedagogical Quality
Assesses instructional design, engagement strategies, active learning tasks, feedback mechanisms, and support for differentiated learning.
Didactic Quality
Focuses on clarity, cognitive load management, learner motivation, and interactivity. Uses visual aids, chunked content, and gamification techniques.
Technical Quality
Covers usability, accessibility (WCAG compliance), mobile compatibility, secure functionality, and bug-free multimedia performance.
Evaluation Process
A structured process including:
Self-assessment by content creators
Peer review by SMEs and designers
Pilot testing with real users
Ongoing feedback loops and continuous content iteration
Scoring & Rubrics
Evaluation is based on a 5-point Likert scale with weighted dimensions:
Academic (30%)
Pedagogical (30%)
Didactic (20%)
Technical (20%)
Final score formula:Final Score = Σ(Criterion Score × Weight)
Templates & Tools
Includes digital evaluation templates for consistent reviewer inputs, score aggregation, and insight-driven decision-making.
Use the scoring framework to ensure NEP-aligned, high-quality courseware
Train content creators on rubric-based design and evaluation
Run pilot tests before deployment for real-world feedback
Create a continuous improvement cycle using analytics and user feedback
Promote inclusion by applying WCAG standards and learner-centered design
