No one wants a client to find errors in their eLearning. And we hope users don’t have to report that a button didn’t work correctly. For an industry that is steeped in technology, our quality assurance practice is subpar. Now I know some of you may have it together and your organization has quality assurance and quality control procedures. But many of us need help with effective quality practices. And that’s why in this episode, I speak to Hadiya Nuriddin, who helps organizations institute quality assurance programs.
You may know Hadiya for her work in storytelling and as the author of the book StoryTraining. She has degrees in curriculum studies and in writing and is a Certified Professional in Learning and Performance.

That’s an interesting question Michele. I don’t know the answer. I suggest contacting Hadiya through LinkedIn or her website. Perhaps she knows.
Michele says
I am curious if there is an industry-standard formula to calculate/ estimate the amount of time to conduct QA and QC.
Thank you,
Michele
