The Quality Assurance of Online Courses Based on CIPP Model in Guilin Institute of Information Technology (GIIT)
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the deep integration of Internet technology and educational informatization, the online course teaching mode, facilitated by the Internet as a transmission channel, has gradually infiltrated into higher education. The quality assurance of online course teaching in higher education is a part of the overall management of teaching quality, serving as both a guarantee and a prerequisite for the orderly development of online teaching. It is imperative to investigate the current status of quality assurance for online course teaching in higher education and to study the paths that ensure the quality of online teaching in universities. This research is urgent and crucial in promoting the construction of high-quality online courses in current times.
The objectives of this research were: 1. To study the Quality Assurance of Online Courses Based on CIPP Model. 2. To study the improvement strategies of teaching quality management of online courses in universities and the optimization suggestions of quality assurance. The study sample consists of 410 students who have taken online courses at Guilin Institute of Information Technology (GIIT), as well as 10 teachers and administrators responsible for online course instruction. To collect data for this study, research tools and procedures were developed, with a reliability of 0.92. Statistical analysis methods, including percentages, means, standard deviations, and content analysis, were employed in the study.
The research findings reveal that: (1) The overall quality assurance of online course instruction at GIIT is at a relatively high level. The highest level is observed in the background assurance measures for online courses ( =4.18, S.D.=0.93), followed by effectiveness assurance ( =4.14, S.D.=0.99), implementation assurance ( =4.12, S.D.=0.99), and slightly lower in input assurance ( =4.08, S.D.=1.03). (2) The quality assurance of online course instruction in higher education, based on the CIPP model, includes: 1) Background Assurance; 2) Input Assurance; 3) Implementation Assurance; 4) Effectiveness Assurance.
