Abstract :
Distance course quality is considered as a vector of its characteristics from a learner´s viewpoint. Course metadata should incorporate descriptions that may be matched to the learner´s requirements, thus quality measure is user-specific and reflect didactic, technical, interaction features together with accommodation and purpose correspondence. Suggested methods of cumulative quality estimation based on resource´s quality vector may be used for individual selection of learning resource.
