To insure the lessons available through the Library of Crop Technology are quality materials containing accurate content, they will undergo peer evaluation from two organizations.
1) The American Society of Agronomy (ASA) will conduct an evaluation
of modules for their appropriateness as on-line auto-tutorials for the agriculture
professional. The review will be conducted by content experts familiar with
the target audience. The reviewers will determine if the lesson objectives
cover pertinent information, are written at the appropriate level and effectively
teach the targeted concepts. Approved modules will be listed on the ASA
web site and assigned CEU credits for the CCA (certified crop advisor) accreditation.
2) The Journal of Life Sciences and Natural Resource Education (JLSNRE)
will conduct a review of individual lessons. This review will be similar
to a review of a journal article. Each lesson will be evaluated by three
reviewers; a specialist in the subject area will evaluate content accuracy,
an expert in developing web resources will conduct a media review of the
lessons for usability and quality, and a third reviewer to evaluate the
unique contribution of the lessons to the resources available to learners.
A lesson that meets recommended edits will be referenced as a peer reviewed
on-line lesson in the JLSNRE.
Lessons will be labeled as being at one of three possible stages:
Processing - This lesson is still in development
and will be going to review shortly.
In Review - This lesson is complete and is currently
being reviewed.
Complete - This lesson has completed the review
process and revisions have been made accordingly. |
