QUALITY ASSURANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL TRAININGHow to assess an e-learning project? Application to CVG- « Virtual Campus in Management » Jean-Marie DUJARDIN and Severine MARON HEC-University of Liège, Belgium
CVG-Virtual Campus in Management (created in 2000) 3 « Business Schools » as partners Project sponsored by the European Social Fund and Walloonia
Developed courses : • Accounting • Marketing • Supply Chain Management • Strategy • Leadership • Organisational changes • Human resources • Finances • E-business Target groups: • Trainees (and students)
Plan • 1. Building of a methodology to make a quantitative and qualitative assessment • 2. Trying to apply this methodology to 2 courses:Supply chain management courseand Leadership course • 3. Next step : Applying the methodology systematically
1. Building of a methodology To make a quantitative and qualitative assessment
2. Trying to apply this methodology to 2 courses:Supply chain management courseand Leadership course
Quantitative evaluation of Leadership course (2002-2006)INPUTS
OUTPUTSLeadership course • Total amount of developped hours for Leadership course: 40 hours • Total amount of students/trainees from 2004 to 2006 (nobody between 2002-2004) • Students : 650 • Trainees :9 • Total amount of training hours for this course • Students : 650*40= 26 000 • Trainees 9*40= 360
What can we conclude of this? Relation between INPUTS and OUTPUTS-Leadership course • Average cost (of development ) of a course for every : • Trainee (FSE target): 68.486,63 /9= 7.609,63€ • User( Students and Trainees) = 68.486,63 / (650+9)= 104 euros • Average cost of one hour e-learning production • 68.486,63 coût total /40(hours)= 1712 euros • Human resources cost rate (compared to the entire costs) • 50%
What can we conclude of this? • Is there a difference between • pre- and post-test? • « hot » and « cold » evaluation? • Do the results match with the course objectives? • Are the students/trainees satisfied?
OUTPUTS(2002-2006) • Total amount of developped hours for SCM Management course: 90 hours • Total amount of students/trainees from 2004 to 2006 (nobody between 2002-2004) • Students :/ • Trainees : 63 • Total amount of training hours for all courses • Students :/ • Trainees : 90*63=5670
What can we conclude of this?For Supply Chain Management courseRelation between INPUTS and OUTPUTS • Average cost (of development ) of a course for every • Student :/ • Trainee: 139.354,65€ /63= 2211Euros • Average cost of one hour e-learning production: 139.354,65€ /90 = 1548 euros • Human resources cost rate (compared to the entire costs) • 46%
Qualitative evaluation of SCM course(self-evaluation) • Just before the course, the teacher asked the trainees to evaluate their knowledge level for each part of his course, for example: • Transportation (theory basis) • Transportation (application) • Stocks management • …. On a scale: low-middle-good-excellent After the course, the teacher will ask the trainees to do the same thing, so we could compare…
OUTPUTS Global project • Total amount of developped hours for all courses: 350 hours (10 courses) • Total amount of students/trainees from 2004 to 2006 (nobody between 2002-2004) • Students : about 2200 • Trainees (FSE target) : 261 • Total amount of training hours for all courses • Students : about 2200*30=66000 • Trainees: over 12000 hours
What can we conclude of this? Relation between INPUTS and OUTPUTSGlobal project • Average cost (of development) of the courses for every • Student :/ • Trainee 1010500,38 /261=3871 euros • Average cost of one hour e-learning production: 1010500,38/ 350= 2887 euros • …but the diffusion only begins !!!! • Human resources cost rate (compared to the entire costs) • 45% • Dropout Rate:??
3. Next steps … • How to improve the methodology and its application for next years ? • Apply the methodology to all courses systematically for quality insurance!
Interests of the methodology • Approach also focused on outputs • Professional and systematical management of the project • Discovery of new information and different view on the project • Guidelines for budget and development • Needs much time and resources • Lack of information Drawbacks of the methodology
