| Abstract:
Evaluating quality online courses has become a complex challenge as designers and evaluators are faced with multiple dimensions of the online context. This presentation will examine the use of three frameworks- an evaluation framework (Williams & Graham, 2010), Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), and ADDIE- that can be used together to help evaluators of online courses identify specific criteria and consider important questions during formative and summative evaluation of online courses. These three frameworks are presented in the context of a design case to help evaluators identify and consider relevant criteria in online course evaluations.

| Abstract:
During 2007–2009, the University of Hawaii and the Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) offered an NSF sponsored, online, master’s degree in evaluation practice called the Regional Education Master’s Online Training in Evaluation (REMOTE)program. Previous presentations at AEA have described the challenges of implementation and the lessons learned. The purpose of this session is to present and discuss results from a follow-up study of the relevance of the program to on-the-job improvement for REMOTE participants. The study was conducted about a year after the program ended so that graduates would have time to apply the skills and knowledge they acquired in the course to their work. Graduates were asked how the program helped them understand their work and improve their decision-making. They were interviewed and completed a survey.
