Roberts, T. Grady; Irani, Tracy A.; Telg, Ricky W.; Lundy, Lisa K.
American Journal of Distance Education, v19 n1 p51-64 2005
This study sought to adapt and test a methodological framework designed to produce a course evaluation that addresses the unique aspects of distance education while maintaining consistency with current evaluation instruments commonly used to evaluate an institution's on-campus courses. Using the four-step process adapted from Biner (1993), twenty items were identified for inclusion in the instrument. The authors concluded that the four-step process yielded an instrument for the evaluation of distance education courses that provides both functionality and flexibility to be used across a variety of courses.
