Evaluation in Educational Technology (EDT 302) is a core undergraduate course designed to equip learners with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of technology-enhanced learning environments. The course introduces students to the fundamental principles, concepts, and theoretical foundations of educational evaluation, with a strong emphasis on its application within instructional design and digital learning systems.
Throughout the course, learners explore key evaluation approaches, including formative, summative, and diagnostic evaluation, as well as essential measurement concepts such as validity, reliability, and assessment design. The course further examines widely recognized evaluation models such as the CIPP Model, Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model, and the SECTIONS Model, enabling students to apply structured frameworks in evaluating instructional materials, e-learning platforms, and technology integration strategies.
The course adopts a modular and progressive structure, guiding students from foundational concepts to advanced evaluation practices. It covers critical areas such as instructional materials evaluation, e-learning and Learning Management Systems (LMS) assessment, data collection and analysis techniques, and evaluation reporting for decision-making. Learners also engage with real-world applications, developing the ability to design evaluation instruments, interpret data, and generate evidence-based recommendations for improving instructional effectiveness.
By integrating theory with practice, EDT 302 prepares students to become competent educational technologists capable of conducting systematic evaluations, ensuring quality assurance, and supporting data-driven decision-making in modern educational settings. The course ultimately fosters critical thinking, analytical skills, and professional competence required to enhance teaching and learning through effective evaluation practices.
