Part
F - Strategies for evaluating the learner experience in
an online environment
Introducing
evaluation
|
So
far in the programme, you have had the opportunity to explore
how information and communication technologies can be used to
assist learning.
The
big question is: does technology really improve learning and
enhance the quality of the learner's learning experience?
Generally,
there is a lack of systematic evidence on the impact of information
technology on learning. This part of the section looks at the
process of evaluation.
It
is essential that as part of online programme planning, development
and delivery you develop an evaluation framework to collect evidence
which will shed some light on the impact of the technology on
the learners and their learning experience.
Evaluation
will allow you to identify what to:
-
stop doing
-
start doing
-
continue doing.
Where
improvements are required in:
-
courseware/learning material
-
your performance
-
your learners' performance.
There
are many ways in which you can try to evaluate a learner's online
learning experience. This part of the section simply provides
some practical advice and guidelines you may wish to follow. Ultimately,
however, your evaluation strategy and the evaluation tool(s) you
use will be influenced by your own personal situation.
