Course Build Quality Gate (QA)

Course Build Quality Gate (QA)

1. 01

   Lock the learning objectives before any authoring tool is opened

   Each module gets one measurable objective written as an observable action, so reviewers can score output against a fixed target instead of taste.

2. 02

   Run every quiz item through a source-line check

   Tools such as QuizPaste surface the exact source line behind each generated question, which makes it fast to catch hallucinated answers before a client sees them.

3. 03

   Verify SCORM and xAPI packaging against the client LMS, not a demo tenant

   iSpring Suite and Colossyan both export SCORM, but completion tracking often breaks on the client's production instance; test there and capture the completion record.

4. 04

   Score narration and avatar video for factual drift

   AI voiceover and avatar segments get a second pass against the approved script, since a single regenerated line can shift a compliance claim.

5. 05

   Confirm accessibility basics: captions, contrast, keyboard navigation

   Most platforms ship auto-captioning, but the captions still need a human read for product names and acronyms that get mangled.

6. 06

   Check commerce and access rules on a real purchase path

   On Thinkific, Kajabi, or Teachable, buy the course with a test card, confirm the enrollment email, and verify the refund path works before launch.

7. 07

   Log the QA result and the reviewer name in the delivery record

   A signed QA sheet is what lets an agency defend a retainer when a client disputes a module six weeks after go-live.
