Welcome to EDTEC 590 - Spring 2011
Evaluation
is an integral part of the instructional design process; it's also at the heart
of performance technology. But did you know that it is a discipline
in and of itself? In EDTEC 590, we'll explore the art and science of program
and product evaluation. You'll
serve as a performance technologist who assists a community-based client with
a pressing evaluation need. Working collaboratively, you and the client will
conceptualize an evaluaton study, design tools
for collecting key data, analyze that data, and produce an interpretive report.
You'll also have an opportunity to meet evaluators in the field (both internal
and external), research hot topics about which evaluators debate (often quite
fervently), and work with high-end technologies that are rapidly affecting
how evaluation unfolds and whom it involves.
