I think that the Multiple Methods Evaluation model would work best for me, with the subject that I am evaluating.
My understanding of the Multiple Methods Evaluation model is that is uses different methods of evaluating individual aspects (triangulation) and and evaluates a range of factors within each aspect (bracketing).
The Muliple Methods evaluation model comes under the umbrella of the Eclectic-Mixed Methods-Pragmatic paradigm.
The reason that I chosen this model is because of the flexibility of being able to use different methods evaluation and also the depth (and therefore quality) of the evaluation.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree your thoughts on multiple methods evaluation model. To evaluate a elearning solution, mostly there're many factors (especially the diversity of learners themselves) working together towards the learning outcomes. So I think the experimental evaluation model which focus on figures is hard to give a through and deep thoughts on evaluated solution.
As you mentioned, multiple methods enables more flexible way to get into the evaluation deeply.
sorry, used a wrong word in my first post, excuse my poor English :-(
ReplyDeleteI mean experimental evaluation model "is hard to give a thorough and deep thoughts on evaluated solution".
a good choice Michelle as corroborated by Joy as well. It is very important in evaluation of eLearning to have the flexibility to investigate a range of variables.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, I am going to use this method too. It seems more flexible than the other methods, which is what we need for flexible learning evaluation ;). There are a lot of unknowns in our elearning courses, and many of them have not been running for years and years in the same way.
