This report makes recommendations for the establishment of an active research and evaluation program for the Open Learning Institute (OLI) and the Knowledge Network (KN) of British Columbia (Canada). It is suggested that the OLI and KN programs develop a framework for evaluating their own performance, that the database be improved to provide information for evaluation and decision-making, and that evaluation procedures be established for course evaluation, project management, student services, KN reception and utilization, and organization and funding. A 21-page Summary of Recommendations and seven appendices, including a listing of OLI staff publications, supplement the text. (EW)
