ED7505: Evaluation and Assessment of Instructional Design

This course is designed to focus on two core concepts of the instructional design process: how to create valid evaluation tools and how to use the results of those tools to improve your courses.

When a class or training event is well done, the learners react by thinking, If on the other hand, a class or training misses the mark, the learners will be bored, frustrated, and will learn little. How can you tell if a course is on target and effective? The answer is evaluation, and that is the topic you will explore during this quarter. You will learn about different perspectives to address questions such as:

Is this course well designed for the target audience?

Are the students learning what was intended?

How can the course be improved?

In this course, you will learn how to find answers to these questions and many more. To search for answers to those questions, you will learn to create and apply a number of levels of evaluation tools.
