Testing Online Learning Materials

Course plan.

In my online course I will create several things like the syllabus of my course by using Microsoft office word and course document. I will downloads all these thing that I create by using one of media tools which is scribd .www.scribd.com
I will create like tutor link that each student has any problem with anything that I provide .for example ,the links in the syllabus or the course that I provide or the home work. The student have to E- mail me at

alsubkia@csusb.edu to fix the problem.

I will do a survey by using survey monkey http://www.surveymonkey.com/ at the beginning of the class to test my students background and information on using online tools like Skype, http://www.skype.com/ dim dim and blog http://www.blogger.com/.


I will try to meet with expert that work in technology field and give them a survey to evaluate my course material and out come.

One of the method that I will use is do out line of my online course to design my text.

I will test my media in two way as personal and group side. I will test my document in deferent kind of commuter that has deferent vergen of program such as windows x p the old virgin and vista the new Microsoft program and Macintosh they bout have different browsers and even different versions of browsers that I have to test it .I will test also the document in my home computer ,at university computer and in the library computer to make sure everything work like I need.
I will test my media by asking some experts that work in programming and technology field to rate my course and help me to up grated and fix any problem in my course media program and give me good idea on how to make my online tools that I use become better. I will also make other teacher who work in the same field look over my word document and syllabus before I post it in my web site and I will try to pot everything that I create in one of web-based validation checkers to make sure my course run effectively.
After I upload the media that I use in my course, I will make the student at the first day at class try to use the media and upload and access the materials that I provide for example if the student try to download all the document using university network they will have very fast network performance. I will try to make my student and I try to down loud the material in deferent place that has deferent network speed that are far away from the network that hosts the materials for example like home.

I will try to make sure everything in my course is clear and try to fix any problem it may found in my course after I make subject matter experts who work in language and technology field evaluate my design plan like . content review, outlines, the Color of the text, font size, text Version, Navigation Requirements, Screen brightness ,image , Animations, Audio, Videos quality and Skip links that I provide.

As a part of my evaluation, I will do a survey and checklist to make sure everything that I design and plan in my course is work correctly.

  1. You have developed a good plan for testing your course. One of the most important features you have included is having others check your materials to help you find problems you might otherwise miss.

  2. You are also thinking much along the lines I would like to do...running testing up the flagpole of professionals to see if they salute it. Also, I would solicit advice from my son, who has and is taking on-line classes and can give me do's and don'ts from the "trenches" Bob M.
