Learning Objectives

Our eLearning Philosophy

Every course offered by DQMatters has a set of goals, called Learning Objectives, which we use to anchor instruction to the topics and scope required. This ensures that learners successfully comprehend and relate the concepts, question methods of application and retain the skills to apply what they have learned. This educational investment yields an increase in productivity (increased revenue; decreased costs), clarity of direction, and desired quality improvement.

For example, Domain 2 of the IQCPTM framework for IQ (Information Quality Environment and Culture) has a number of required skills and knowledge that were identified by IAIDQ in the Job Analysis Report. Using these attributes, required of Information Quality professionals, each Learning Objective has been formed. We then ensure that each course contains explanation of these concepts and activities/discussion that reinforce understanding and long-term applicability. Additionally, we’ve reconciled the skills and knowledge attributes provided in the IAIDQ Job Analysis Report with each course to ensure that the DQMatters IQCPTM preparation material is comprehensive.
