Abstract

The spread and persistence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has caused online education to gradually become the “new normal” in higher education, and a comprehensive and systematic study of the online course learning of college students in the context of the normalization of online teaching is urgently needed. Higher education is the main stage of cultivating innovative talents, and the evaluation of collaborative education through science and education in the context of online education is also a key content. Therefore, this study established a hierarchical evaluation system based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), including three second-level evaluation factors and fifteen third-level evaluation factors. Then, a judgment matrix for each level of evaluation factor was constructed and passed the consistency test. Finally, the weights of each factor were determined, and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method in online learning quality evaluation were verified through a case study. The evaluation results indicate that the cultivation of online learning ability for local college students is more important than online course resources and the online learning environment. In order to promote the realization of educational equity, it is not only necessary to focus on improving students’ academic performance, but also to find ways to enhance students’ learning abilities. In addition, the cultivation of communication and collaboration abilities between teachers and students is an important way to improve the quality of online learning for college students in the process of online learning for college students.
