With the growing demand for e-learning, as well with the striving for excellence, everyone worldwide is encouraged to improve and ensure the quality of e-learning. Quality assurance requires a supportive environment. The purpose of this paper is to propose procedures for evaluating and controlling the quality of e-learning materials. The article reflects on the approach, which is often mentioned in the field of quality assurance, procedures that characterize the processes, helps to sort them, track their progress sequence and identify those responsible. Clearly, the quality of online learning has many dimensions, but this article deals only with the part that relates to the quality of e-learning materials. In January 2018, experts from European Distance Education Secondary School, Riga Distance Education Secondary School and Riga 1st Distance Education Secondary School were interviewed. The questionnaire included questions about the quality assessment of the study materials. Based on the findings of scientific research literature and taking into account the good practice, procedures for the quality control of electronic learning materials were created. The article offers four procedures that include the use of a web-based checklist developed by the author. Activities of procedures can be divided into areas of responsibility that deal with developers of the material, methodological commission, material evaluators and IT administrator. Distance learning program implementers can use the proposed procedures in the process of making and monitoring electronic learning materials. In addition, the checklist helps to identify important conditions and requirements that affect the quality of the study material.

Information and communication technology combined with multimedia and networking has enabled development of e-learning. E-learning opportunities expand access to education, without the learner’s social, economic and geographical barriers. The main question in this situation has to take into account the quality of e-learning materials. The aim of this research was to explore the definition of the quality and scientific research literature on e-learning quality, and identify the quality influencing factors. This article looks at quality standards and summarizes the existing literature on the quality aspects of electronic materials. During the research was analyzed the literature of the last 13 years. Findings showed that the quality evaluation model covers a wide scale — from one e-course to e-learning system implementation quality aspects. The quality of electronic learning material can be measured by technical, pedagogy and content criteria. The technical quality of the e-material (text, picture, video, sound recording, visual presentation, multimedia, etc.) is influenced by many factors and specifying for each type. The research should be continued to indicate the quality criteria for each type of e-materials including the degree of importance.
