How Does Edovo Evaluate Content?


Once a course has passed our rigorous screening process, it moves on to the next step: evaluation. 


Our goal is to provide the relevant information staff need to determine what coursework they could assign to their learner groups, what courses they could consider for merit-based credit, and what courses would benefit their learners most. Evaluation includes checks for:


  • Key Area of Focus

    • Which of the following categories does the content fall into: Academics, Vocational, Life Skills, Incarcerated Life, Reentry, Health, Recovery, Arts and Culture, Religion and Spirituality

  • Estimated Time to Complete

    • How long does it take a Learner who is meaningfully engaging with the content to complete the course?
