1. Prepare an evaluation plan for your
learning design developed during the
first six weeks of the OLDS MOOC.
2. Implement two evaluation strategies
based on your plan.
3. Analyze the results of the evaluation.
4. Use the results to improve your
learning design.

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

4. Three core starting points.
• Plan up front.
• Align anticipated
decisions with
evaluation
questions.
• Use multiple criteria
and multiple data
collection methods.

5. Decision-Making and Evaluation
• We must make
decisions about how we
go about designing and
using
learning resources.
• Information from
evaluation is a better
basis for decision-
making than habit,
intuition, superstition,
politics, prejudice, or just

6. Planning is the key!
• Clear decisions drive
the rest of evaluation
planning.
• Evaluation questions
emerge from
decisions.
• Methods emerge from
questions.
