Abstract
While witnessing how rapidly and frequently the human life-sustaining structure of society has changed from the past to modern times, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic presented us a unique challenge, moving a considerable part of our life more than ever online and showing us the signs that a new era has begun. While the access to information is enormous, there is a lack of proper skills in selecting the best options available to upgrade one’s educational status. Considering how fast education tools are evolving, it has become important to carry out new studies in order to increase and boost the Quality Assurance for E-learning processes in Education. In this context, recently in Malta a new Aerospace Programme kicked off through an MSc in Aerospace Engineering. This Master's has been structured as part-time and online, aiming to attract undergraduates and professionals in aeronautics from Europe, Asia and Africa, providing the skills required by national and international aerospace companies. For these reasons, the course has been chosen as a test case for the potential application of a measurement tool for its E-Learning content quality assurance. This paper describes the preliminary analysis to assess the main Quality Measurement parameter. An uncertainty parameter will be associated with the measurement, which will be improved with the increasing size of the statistical sample and iterations. The uncertainty parameter includes measurement errors, sampling errors, variability, use of surrogate data and the combined effect of assumptions that will be necessary to do in the preliminary phase due to the novelty of the study. Projections suggest that in the proposed study case of the MSc in Aerospace Engineering, the Quality Measurement parameter value will increase in the next few years, thanks to continuous investments, the sharpening of teaching and learning tools, and the growth of interest from the Maltese aerospace sector; it is expected that the uncertainty of the model will similarly decrease
