Introduction

This course focuses on the evaluation of e-learning programs, both those that are commercially produced and those that a teacher, college instructor or trainer might develop for his/her own students. Quite frankly, the KSA's (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) of a competent evaluator are so numerous that a single course or even a sequence of courses is inadequate preparation.

The objective of this course is to understand the quality control procedures during and after the development process of an e-learning multimedia products.

The learning outcomes that are expected from students are the ability to:

1. Generate and refine a definition of evaluation.

a. measurement and evaluation
b. criteria for evaluating input, context, process and outcomes of e-learning programs

e. formative and summative evaluation

5. Implement various facets of e-learning evaluation:
