| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of Merrill’s five star system using award-winning online courses. We compared Merrill’s rubric with other recognized rubrics to explore the convergence of course awards with high scores on the Merrill’s system, and convergence of scores on the Merrill system with relevant scores on the other evaluation tools. This was an exploratory study which attempted to see how high-quality courses employ Merrill’s first principles of instruction. From our results we believe that Merrill’s first principles should be included in the myriad of criteria for determining online course quality. Award-winning courses tend to use Merrill’s first principles, and it seems likely that there is still significant room for improvement of even award-winning courses. |
