Abstract
ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is crucial to enhancing the quality of higher education by improving students’ learning effectiveness and enriching their learning experiences. People are now concerned about the quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and return on investment (ROI) of how ICT is applied in higher education. Performance evaluation is an effective way to solve this problem, with the exceptional advantage of promoting sustainable development. In this paper, a 4-Dimension Performance Evaluation Model and corresponding course-related Performance Evaluation Indicator System in Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) case are proposed to evaluate how ICT is applied in higher education. Our case study with three MOOCs shows that our model and indicator system are helpful in measuring the current status of ICT in higher education while providing suggestions and directions to help the course become more “mature” and lead it to a new stage.
