Book Description
Using a computer can no longer be considered the province of the experts. The prices of computers continue to tumble and sophisticated software comes free as standard issue, but how many people know how to use what is available? even though children take to computers without thinking twice, many people, even those who use computers in a limited way, shy away from learning any more. The manual produced by manufacturers do not usually help and are often even more confusing than the machines themselves. This text is published to help cut through to the most useful information needed. All the essential terms are explained and the text is enhanced with illustrations throughout.

Evaluation in Distance Education and E-learning
Author: Valerie Ruhe
Publisher: Guilford Press
ISBN: 1593858736
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
With the rapid proliferation of distance education and e-learning courses, the need is growing for a comprehensive, professional approach to evaluating their effectiveness. This indispensable book offers a road map to guide evaluation practice in these innovative learning environments. Providing practical, step-by-step guidelines and tools for conducting evaluation studies—including how to deal with stakeholders, develop surveys and interview protocols, collect other scientific evidence, and analyze and blend mixed-methods data—the work also features a template for writing high-quality reports. The "unfolding model" developed by the authors draws on Messick's influential assessment framework and applies it to program evaluation. Two case studies of actual programs (a distance learning course and an e-learning course) demonstrate the unfolding model in action.
