Literature Quality Assurance (QA) Volunteer Resources

QA is the final step in the process of creating an audiobook. In a nutshell, it means playing our books back just like our students will, and checking for anything that interferes with an enjoyable reading experience. QA Volunteers are essential to ensuring quality audiobooks in our library. 

To get started:

1. Please make sure you've submitted an application to volunteer with Learning Ally. If you've already submitted the application, please skip this step. How do you know if you've submitted an application? If you receive emails from us, you are likely already in our volunteer database.

2. Review the Getting Started with Literature QA, which walks you through the steps to begin the QA process.  All documents and link you need to Literature QA are conveniently located in our volunteer portal.  Please watch all training videos and review the guidelines sheet before starting a QA review.

3. Join us on Twist: Twist is an app that serves as a group chat for our Audiobook Production Volunteers and volunteer team leads. Head to the Literature Quality Assurance Team Channel and click the JOIN button at the lower right to enter. Once you're in, you can meet additional volunteers and ask questions.

Have additional questions? Please reach out via Twist or use the Support Chat on this website. Learning Ally staff members will respond to you as soon as we can.
