Social Evaluation of Learning Material.

In academic environments the success of a course is given by the interaction among students, teachers and learning material. This paper is focused on the definition of a model to establish the quality of learning material within a Social Learning Management System (Social LMS). This is done by analyzing how teachers and students interact by: (1) objective evaluations (e.g., grades), and (2) subjective evaluations (e.g., social data from the Social LMS). As a reference, we use the Kirkpatrick-Philips model to characterize learning material with novel key performance indicators. As an example, we propose a social environment where students and teachers interact with the help of a wall modified for the evaluation of learning material.
