http://www.csu.edu.au/division/OLI/oli-rd/oli-rd.htm
There are two issues involved in evaluating computer based learning and IMM explored in this paper: the issue of how to evaluate the material, and the issue of how to evaluate the learning. Effectiveness can be measured in different terms - achievement of learning outcomes, student satisfaction and motivation, development cost ratios, redeployment of staff, flexibility, etc.
