Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Online Learning Platform - A Study Of A Google Cloud Learning System

Abstract

The improvement in assessment is an obligation when relating to any technological lesson. This study has only one goal: to get more information from applying a formative assessment system using an e-learning tool called Qwiklabs in our University Hassan I. Having in plain sight the necessity of being very active in the classroom and based on a combination of a self-learning process and a social cognitive approach, these students get the time to give thought to the feedback and their execution (metacognition). The Google Developers Ecosystem wants to train students on some of its products. As part of that ecosystem, we proposed to implement a series of monthly hands-on labs while using texts, description, pictures, videos, hints, rewards, and quizzes through the Qwiklabs platform, which is the main Google Developers contribution, this platform will provide sufficient feedback as a follow-up to the student's attempts. While giving the students access to the platform, they receive at each lesson a new identification that offers the system the possibility to monitor the students' performance and achievements through every experience, while having a scoring system that allows measuring the users understanding and verifying the proper execution of the lesson's steps.
