Use of software verification, validation and testing technique in the design and implementation of E-Learning package.
Test learn ability of E-learning application.
Provide testing methods that helps to design online training for inexperienced e-learners.
Major Testing Techniques In E-learning
Verification And Validation
1. Functional Testing
Detect discrepancies between a programâ„¢s functional specifications & its actual behaviors.
2. Usability Testing
Verifies user friendliness or user understandability of product.
3. Mutation Testing
Evaluate the effectiveness of testing applied to the system.
4. E-Learning Acceptance Testing
Important when designing online training for
inexperienced e-learners.
5. Compatibility Testing
The E-Learning package should be compatible with
the formal learning schemes.
6. Foreign-Language Testing
It involve the testing of the following factors:-
Translation issue, Text expansion, Localization issues.
Conclusion
The major question regarding testing in future is the effectiveness, economics of testing in Learning and approaches.
As it will be very critical for the survival of the institute or organization providing E-Learning facility, the ultimate goal should be the total test automation.
Stages of Instruction Design
Analysis of needs, goals and priorities.
Analysis of resources and constraints.
Selection of delivery system.
Preparation of a curriculum with reference to goals for each subject.
Designing of objectives of each course.
Designing of the organization of course.
Assessment of learnerâ„¢s performance.
Development of the learning material.
