Courseware evaluation tools

The first resource CHECKLIST: Evaluating the suitability of multimedia learning software was produced by the South East Metropolitan College of TAFE 2000 LearnScope Team.

It provides a framework for evaluating:

  • content
  • instructional quality
  • technical quality
  • documentation
  • program elements
  • summary section measuring subjective responses

The second resource Toolbox Evaluation Document, produced by the West Coast College 2000 Project Team, is appropriate for evaluating each module of a toolbox and walks you through an analysis of:

  • installation/computer literacy issues
  • introductory information
  • content issues
  • student activities
  • completeness
  • prerequisites/corequisites
  • balance between online materials and hard copy support
  • support materials and details
  • use of multimedia
  • summary/overall conclusions

Both resources come highly recommended and LearnScope would like to congratulate both teams on their achievements during their 2000 LearnScope Projects.
