Quality Evaluation Tool for Computer-and Web-Delivered Instruction
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to develop an Instructional Quality Evaluation Tool to help instructional developers and instructional program managers quantitatively determine the quality of their instructional products, both during development and at project completion. The Tool can also support the comparison of courseware from different developers or courseware that uses different combinations of instructional media. Likert scaling techniques were used to develop 5-point rating scales for each evaluation criterion. Anchor descriptions were developed for each rating point on all scales. This report includes these anchored Likert scales, which can serve as a "stand-alone" Tool. The evaluation criteria are organized into two major sections: instructional features and user-interface design. For those who with additional information or with to conduct a more "in-depth" evaluation, the detailed discussions of each evaluation criterion include definitions of important terms and summaries of the literature that supports the criterion. The discussions also provide suggested techniques to improve courseware by optimizing the instruction from the perspective of each criterion. Recommendations for future improvement of the Tool are provided.
