Training validation is one of the two most important processes to ensure that content is up-to-date and effective. In this way, it is guaranteed that the ideas of all the parties involved are aligned and provides the participants with a more enriching experience.

In this article, we will comment on the main review stages that will help you identify possible alterations before the publication of the course, guaranteeing higher quality for your E-Learning projects.

The training validation process is essential to ensure that the educational objectives are achieved and that the participants acquire the desired competencies.

It is important to remember that an effective review occurs when new reports do not contain content. If you want to do your own verification first, make sure you trace other people to get different perspectives on your course.

The reviewers can point out things that you do not see, such as spelling errors or continuity errors, and guarantee conformity with the learning objectives and ensure that the training addresses the needs of the public.

A good practice to ensure that the issue remains clear is to make a checklist on the main points to be reviewed, so that the validators can be attributed according to each topic.

Let's look at some important topics that you should pay more attention to during the review process:

1. Verification of the accuracy of the content

This process involves identifying and correcting outdated, inaccurate information or details that may have changed, such as:

• Regulations and compliance requirements: Verify that the aforementioned regulations are updated in accordance with current standards and confirm that the content is in accordance with the sector's policies, avoiding potential legal or compliance problems.
• Company policies and procedures: Internal policies and operating procedures may change frequently. Make sure that the course reflects the organization's current directives.

2. Involvement of specialists not subject

Request that specialists do a detailed review of the content to guarantee technical and assertive precision on the topic.

3. Technical functionality test

Make sure everything works as expected on different devices and browsers. In addition to checking the responsiveness of training for different types of fabric, it is also important to check:

• Navigation controls and interactive elements;
• Playback of multimedia files and download links;
• Tracking and completion status of the LMS.

4. Check the user interface

Because we are constantly working with E-learning, we are used to how it usually works. However, some students may not be able to access training that is new to them.

To ensure good usability and easy navigation for participants, it is important to focus on:

• Clear navigation paths and intuitive positioning of buttons and clickable elements;
• Consistent design elements, with legible texts and adequate contrast;
• Mobile responsiveness and accessibility resources.

5. Verification of the effectiveness of the endorsements

Guarantee that your assessments really measure the learning and are aligned with the declared and instructed objectives not to follow the course. It is also valid to pay attention to the feedback from the quests, ensuring that they are relevant to the participant.

6. Media quality check

Verify all the elements of the media prior to the learning experience and guarantee that it has a good resolution and high quality.

Practical tips for validation of E-learning

Some practical tips for an effective validation process start the reviews logo do not start the development of the course. This allows sufficient time for validated reviewers to make adjustments, adjusting and concluding in a continuous and efficient manner.

Além disso, it is important to use a diversified review team, composed both by non-subject specialists and by new students. As specialists help verify technical precision and relevance of content, new students offer a fresh perspective on the clarity and accessibility of information. This open approach contributes to the creation of more inclusive and effective training.

Another key point is to establish a clear process for documenting problems. By recording all questions found, such as content errors, technical problems or doubts about usability, it becomes easier to track corrections and ensure that no pending issues are ignored.

To avoid difficulties during the review process, it is crucial to be on the lookout for common weapons that may go unnoticed, such as:

• Press the review process, which may result in unidentified errors and poor quality content;
• Ignore user feedback, which may compromise the student's experience and reduce the effectiveness of training;
• Ignore technical verifications, leading to errors in functionality and accessibility of the course;
• Make assumptions about the user's knowledge, which may result in content that is too complex or simplified for students.

Namely, a complete review process is not about finding problems – it is about ensuring that your course helps students achieve their goals successfully!

By following these good practices and avoiding the traps mentioned above, it is possible to guarantee that the E-learning training is effective, accessible and relevant to the general public, increasing the retention of knowledge among participants.
