EDIT 6611 Instructional Product Evaluation

This course serves as an introduction to the evaluation of technology-based instructional products such as interactive multimedia programs, computer-based training modules, e- learning course modules, and websites designed to meet educational goals. Comprehensive product evaluation is a complex process requiring a wide range of knowledge and skills that cannot be adequately taught in a single course. This course, therefore, provides students with the necessary, introductory knowledge and skills to begin the ongoing endeavor of disciplined, exploratory study of the evaluation of instructional products and the systems with which they interact. Students will use knowledge and skills acquired in this course while obtaining initial practical experience in instructional product evaluation. An overview of theories and methods for evaluating instructional products, including design considerations, client needs, accessibility for exceptional learners, and usability will be presented in this project-based course. (Field experience required.)
