Week 7 Activities1. Prepare an evaluation plan for your

learning design developed during the first six weeks of the OLDS MOOC.

3. Analyze the results of the evaluation.

Evaluation should be a key driver of the entire Learning Design process.

Three core starting points.• Plan up front.

• Align anticipated decisions with evaluation questions.

• Use multiple criteria and multiple data collection methods.

Decision-Making and Evaluation• We must make decisions

about how we go about designing and usinglearning resources.

• Information from evaluation is a better basis for decision-making than habit, intuition, superstition, politics, prejudice, or just plain ignorance.

Planning is the key!• Clear decisions drive

the rest of evaluation planning.

• Evaluation questions emerge from decisions.

• Methods emerge from questions.
