With the quick proliferation of distance schooling and e-learning classes, the necessity is transforming into for a complete, expert method of comparing their effectiveness. This integral publication deals a highway map to steer overview perform in those leading edge studying environments. offering useful, step by step guidance and instruments for undertaking assessment studies—including tips to care for stakeholders, strengthen surveys and interview protocols, gather different clinical facts, and study and mix mixed-methods data—the paintings additionally incorporates a template for writing top quality experiences. The "unfolding version" built by means of the authors attracts on Messick's influential evaluate framework and applies it to software assessment. case experiences of tangible courses (a distance studying path and an e-learning path) display the unfolding version in motion.

These multiple contexts require different evaluation approaches, raise diverse issues, and yield different types of scientific evidence (Davidson, 2000). Program evaluation is a transdiscipline and does not have a permanent “disciplinary house” (Christie, 2001, p. 59). However, program evaluation transforms evaluation theory and 23 24 EVALUATION IN DISTANCE EDUCATION AND E-LEARNING practice in other disciplines and is, in turn, is transformed by them. , 2004; Stufflebeam, 2001), with a rich and diverse history of professional evaluation paradigms, theories, values, methods, practices, and use (Caracelli, 2000; Stufflebeam, 2001).
2004, p. 214). This process is based on information-gathering tools and concepts adopted from industrial models of evaluation (Forsyth, Jolliffe, & Stevens, 1995). In an accreditation study, evaluators rate aspects of the program using lists of objective, predetermined criteria and guidelines in a formal professional review system developed by a professional accrediting body (Stufflebeam, 2001). , 1997). , 2004). One example of an accreditation study is the National Accreditation of Teachers of Education, which is implemented by American public universities every 5 years.
