consists of already created LOs and VLEs quality criteria systems accordingly presented in (Kurilovas<br />

et. al. 2011) and (Kurilovas and Dagiene 2009b), and LA quality criteria system created specially for<br />

the presented research. LA quality criteria were proposed by iTEC working groups, and a number of<br />

scientific papers were additionally analysed (Shee and Wang 2008, Sun et. al. 2008, iCOPER 2011)<br />

criteria. The authors have paid special attention to Non-redundancy, Judgemental independence,<br />

Balancing completeness and conciseness, and Simplicity Vs complexity principles to create the<br />

comprehensive criteria tree presented in Fig. 2.<br />

model, the authors apply criteria classification principle claiming that one should evaluate <strong>learning</strong><br />
