A Crowdsourcing Approach for Quality Enhancement of eLearning SystemsAuthors: LALIT Mohan Mohan,Padmapriya Raman,Venkatesh Choppella,Y.Raghu Babu Reddy Conference: Innovations in Software Engineering Conference, ISEC Date: 2017-02-05 Report no: IIIT/TR/2017/8 AbstractIn India, a large number of engineering undergraduates are adopting eLearning as it provides access to best faculty and reduces concerns on inadequate physical infrastructure at colleges. Virtual Labs is a Government of India eLearning initiative containing simulation and remote triggered labs for engineering students. Virtual Labs developed over a period of 6 years is used by more than a million undergraduate students across nine engineering disciplines. The software used for developing these experiments requires substantial e ort for maintenance due to deprecation, compatibility, etc. We propose a targeted crowdsourcing approach for maintenance of Virtual Labs with sustainable quality. The targeted crowdsourcing involves the large number of engineering students who are also the major stakeholders of these labs. Our quality enhancement using crowdsourcing approach was validated for 14 labs and would be extended to 191 labs based on encouraging results.
