This study investigated an innovative approach of program evaluation through analyses of student learning logs, demographic data, and end-of-course evaluation surveys in an online K-12 supplemental program. The results support the development of a program evaluation model for decision making on teaching and learning at the K-12 level. A case study…

This paper has presented a model for the evaluation of management information systems. The three levels of information considered were actual, perceptual, and attitudinal. The dimensions of evaluation discussed were function, utilization, and effects. (Author/IRT)

Discusses such potential uses for the computer in employee training programs as management support for training and performance, training project control, improved design and development methods, training program implementation and delivery, and program evaluation, revision, and maintenance. (JEG)

Many issues were raised in the course of developing a process for evaluating the computer-supported instructional system in mathematics implemented in the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools. This document discusses a representative selection of these issues, addressing individually each of the three major components of the instructional…

Five methods--final examination, attitude questionnaire, naturalistic observation, interview, and archival data analysis--of evaluating computer-assisted and computer-managed instruction are considered. The use of multiple methods has distinct advantages over the use of only one method. (Author/IRT)

This paper reviews evaluation reports on the use of integrated learning systems (ILSs) in elementary and middle schools throughout the United States in light of the following questions: Do these systems work? Do students make more progress using an ILS than learning in "traditional" ways? Could the cost of software and equipment be…

Two examples of CBT which demonstrate unique design characteristics without gimmicks are described. The first is an example from Northern States Power Company (NSP), an electric and gas utility. The second details implementation of a language arts unit by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium in a public school seting. (JEG)

This report describes the Distance Learning Project North, which began in September 1988 in Alberta, Canada. The primary emphasis of the project was on increasing equity in educational opportunity and the focus was testing alternative distance education delivery systems which can be used to provide equitable, cost-effective education to the…

An approach is described for decreasing the costs and difficulties associated with providing adequate feedback to the student concerning his interpersonal performance when he performs operational tasks in simulated or actual job situations as part of his training. The computer is used to assist in the process of eliciting appropriate feedback from…
