Management of an eLearning Evaluation Project: The e3Learning Model
Lam, Paul; McNaught, Carmel
Journal of Interactive Learning Research, v18 n3 p365-380 Jul 2007
This article describes the evaluation of purpose-built course websites for university-level teaching and learning developed by a funded project (e3Learning, e3L) in Hong Kong, which was designed to support teachers in three universities to supplement classroom teaching with eLearning. Previous articles on the e3L project have described the customized, flexible nature of the large number of evaluations conducted in the period 2003-2005. This article concentrates on the procedural mechanisms and management strategies that have considerably facilitated the process and guaranteed the continued quality of the evaluations. The mechanisms and strategies incorporated have ensured externally good communication between the evaluation team and the teachers, and internally a smooth-running workflow in which the responsibility of each member in the evaluation team is well defined. Evidence is presented of the benefits of this model of, and strategies for, evaluation. (Contains 2 tables and 5 figures.)
