Multi-dimensional model for the evaluation of online courses from a student approach
Abstract
The online courses are strategies used by the universities to put the IT’s on the middle of the teaching-learning process, leading to a development on the technological skills required by the students to their professional output; nevertheless it is necessary to evaluate the strategy in order to achieve the expected success. This work shows the results of the research performed in the CUSUR of the University of Guadalajara, the work proposes an evaluation model for online course but from a student approach. The importance of the study is derived from the analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of the online courses for the students’ perspective. The results shows that all the analyzed dimensions were significantly important in the whole process but the pedagogical and evaluation dimensions were the most influential.References
