[quote="vprot"] [quote="nikospalavitsinis"] In my opinion, that's an on to the point comment, if you don't mind me saying so, but what are, one or two ways, with which we could bring quality to the portal? Will this be attempted through users involvement, or will it be a process, built in to the system?[/quote] I believe that it would be better to implement a quality assurance process into the system/repository/portal, because this would provide a standard quality level, equal for all the available resources. It would set a minimum (or a wider range) of requirements for contributing/sharing a resource. In contrast, if the system for the quality assurance was based on the users, and since each user might have different perspective for the quality of a resource, I am afraid that this would lead to a number of resources with different quality attributes. In this case, there is a possibility that not all predefined quality criteria would be met by the contributed resources. However, the users should be encouraged to upload their own resources, as this would strengthen their perception of being active members of the community, while populating the educational content at the same time. [/quote] Agree that user involvement needed and quality will come with time as more users upload their own resources.
