Evaluation of Distance Learning Tools
Use this tool in the Distance Learning Playbook on page 108 Figure 6.3 Evaluation of Distance Learning Tools
Many of the Distance Learning tools listed below have been linked to the website "Online Tools for Teaching & Learning" which was designed by students in EDUC 390D, 592A, & 692D at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This site was designed to help teachers identify online tools that they might use for teaching or learning. Each page includes a wealth of information about a specific tool (e.g., price, ease of use, description of the tool, innovative ways to use the tool for teaching and learning, how the tool fits with the SAMR model) to help you evaluate the tool and determine whether to use it in your practice.
