| Abstract:
Recent advances and innovations in information technology (IT) have shifted learning methods from the face to face traditional classroom environment to an on demand environment allowing learning to take place from a distance and at any time. With all the expenditures on e-learning programs, it is necessary for evaluation to be conducted to determine effectiveness in the organization. E-learning evaluation is conducted through multiples methods such as Kirkpatrick four level model of evaluation and Phillips's five level model of evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of existing methods/models used by organizations to evaluate e-learning and develop a framework to enhance the process of e-learning evaluation in organizations. The E-learning Evaluation Checklist (ELEC) uses the Key Evaluation Checklist (KEC) framework and addresses elements required for evaluation of e-learning in organizations. The study will add to the existing body of knowledge geared toward e-learning evaluation.

| Abstract:
The goal of professional development is to improve professional practice, but evaluating this change is often an elusive endeavor. Online modalities of professional development are considered effective in delivering content across geographical distances, but they also produce an additional barrier to evaluating change in practice. This roundtable presentation will provide evaluation methods implemented in an online course series, including competency surveys, curriculum-reference assessments, goal attainment scaling, and document review of assignments. Participants will discuss these measures and identify additional measures and strategies that provide evidence of change in practice.
