WikiEdProfessional eLearning Guidebook/Evaluating the impacts of eLearning/Evaluation contexts
From WikiEducator
There are many different situations or contexts in an educational setting where evaluations can be useful to find out if an eLearning initiative or product is appropriate. Front-end analysis or needs analysis is often conducted to determine the feasibility of introducing a new product or tool, or to find out if there is a market for courses or programmes in the community.
- Student perceptions of an online course - use of multimedia resources and/or communication.
- Staff perceptions of a new teaching tool or method - Learning Management System e.g. Blackboard.
- Usability of multimedia products - learning objects, games, flexible learning toolboxes.
- Uptake of an online resource e.g. online information literacy modules
- Accessibility of an online course - student and staff feedback.
- Review of online learning materials by content experts.
- Institutional initiatives may be evaluated both before and after decisions are made by managers.
