EXSeQETIC: Expert System to Support the Implementation of eQETIC Model
This work addresses the problem of quality control for developers of digital educational solutions, but it is incremental as it builds on an existing model.
The authors tackled the challenge of implementing the eQETIC model for quality management in digital educational solutions by developing two expert systems, which demonstrated positive results in supporting users during implementation.
The digital educational solutions are increasingly used demanding high quality functionalities. In this sense, standards and models are made available by governments, associations, and researchers being most used in quality control and assessment sessions. The eQETIC model was built according to the approach of continuous process improvement favoring the quality management for development and maintenance of digital educational solutions. This article presents two expert systems to support the implementation of eQETIC model and demonstrates that such systems are able to support users during the model implementation. Developed according to two types of shells (SINTA/UFC and e2gLite/eXpertise2go), the systems were used by a professional who develops these type of solutions and showed positive results regarding the support offered by them in implementing the rules proposed by eQETIC model.
