Testing is imperative
In my experience I have seen an LMS get implemented without any form of testing, this caused a huge customer service issue for the individuals taking the course and the instructors that had to lead this course as well. All systems need to be tested and continuously reviewed. Links do not always stay available if that are not archived accurately and in these reviews these issues can be rectified. It is better to take the time to test and update our material before it is implemented then after or you will spend more working time dealing with the problems that will arise from the issues.
Dianne,
When the time is not there, the quality is not there. You had a right to not "be happy." We have to take the time to plan, create and test. Thanks for your input.
I agree with your post. I was the subject matter expert in a course redesign and it was so much pressure trying to meet the deadline of the course going live that there was little time for testing. I must admit, this was not a happy experience for me as I felt rushed and unnecessary mistakes were made due to lack of testing.
Thanks, Dianne
david,
We do need to test things thoroughly before just "putting them out there." Thanks for bringing this up.
