atingi's Quality Assurance Standards & Checklist

    Course Publication Libraries and Requirements Overview 

    atingi categorizes courses into three distinct content libraries, each with its own mandatory publishing standards: 

    1. Public Library 

    2. Open-Link Library 

    3. Non-Public Library 

    Each library serves different types of learning offers and enrolment methods, and requires specific compliance in course design, technical setup, licensing, and branding. Detailed requirements for each library are outlined below 

     

     

    QA and Publication Requirements 

     

    After designing the course with atingi’s guidelines on accessibility and technical configuration, the next step is preparing your course for publication on the atingi platform. This Process involves adhering to strict quality assurance (QA) standards and meeting mandatory publication requirements for the selected content library.  

     

    Quality Assurance Process  

    Atingi provides a comprehensive Platform Quality Assurance document designed to guide you through the proper Moodle configurations for your chosen course activities and resources. Before submitting your course for publication, you must complete this QA checklist by ticking all required items to confirm implementation of the standards specific to your target library. 

     

    Once you submit the completed form to help@atingi.org, the atingi team will then test the course and provide feedback on necessary adjustments. Only after your course successfully passes the QA process and fulfills all requirements will it be published on the platform.

    This checklist is used by the atingi team to identify any open issues in your course. Kindly download the document and complete your course based on these criteria. Kindly send the filled out form to your Customer Success Manager at least 14 days before your envisioned publication date. 

    Quality Assurance – Best practices 

    We have below summarized the key criteria that are the basis of our quality assurance checklist briefly: 
     
    Technical Issues: Moodle Functionalities 

    • Course title with no abbreviations.

    • Course image must meet approved specifications. 

    • Course description section should not be individually formatted. 

    • A valid Moodle course format must be chosen (tiles or workplace). 

    • Completion settings for activities must function properly to allow learners to complete the course. 

    • Certificate sending must be enabled. 

    • Quiz results must be recorded correctly. 

     

    Legal Requirements

    • Full references are included for all external material including AI produced content (i.e. images, videos, tables, graphs, maps) 

     

    User Design

    • Course descriptions should include clear, learner-facing headlines arranged logically (e.g., target audience, course summary, duration, certification, learning outcomes, tutor info, start/end dates). 

    • Courses must have specified sections such as introduction, modules, quizzes, and certificates. 

    • The overall course length and content must be pedagogically sound. 

    • Module content must be described clearly with specific naming conventions for modules and activities. 

    • The introduction tile should contain specific course information. 

    • Interactive activities must be enforced (e.g., no “view” permissions for quizzes). 

    • Passing a quiz should be mandatory to receive a certificate. 

     

    Accessibility 

    • Shorter eLearning courses are more engaging, effective, and accessible—ensuring better outcomes for learners. 

    • Courses should ideally be under 4 hours to limit cognitive overload, maintain engagement, and boost learning effectiveness.  

    • Videos should be of appropriate length and accompanied by transcripts and subtitles. 

     

    Reporting 

    • The relevant information for your course are filled into the backend for internal reporting purposes. 

     

    By applying atingi’s QA framework and respecting the tailored publication standards, course developers can deliver high-quality, accessible, and legally compliant learning experiences that truly resonate with learners.
