Method and system for identifying barriers and gaps to E-learning attraction

摘要

A computer system, method, program product, and service method for evaluating a learning program/service is disclosed with one or more databases having one or more variables. The invention systematically determines the attractiveness of the program/service, preferably a learning program, to one or more end users by determining one or more variables. Each of the variables defines one or more aspects of the learning program/service. An assessment value is associated with each of the variables. The assessment value is a combination of two or more importance assessments given by one or more of the users for each of the respective aspects. A provisioning value is also associated with each of the variables. The provisioning value is a combination of two or more availability assessments given by one or more stake holders for the respective aspect. Then an evaluation process determines a measure of comparison between the assessment value and the respective provisioning value for one or more of the respective variables. The invention may include an aggregation process that combines two or more of the measures to obtain a program measure that can be used to indicate an attractiveness of the learning program/service to the users.
