#   T523: Formative Evaluation for Educational Product Development 

 





 Semester:   Spring 

 

 

 

***Lottery-Based Enrollment*** Formative evaluation is a systematic process of gathering, analyzing and interpreting data for the purpose of improving educational programs and products. This course is designed for teachers, producers, researchers, museum educators, and educational product developers interested in methodologies and issues related to the evaluation of educational products. Through problem-based instruction, students will focus on evaluating one educational product throughout the semester. Students will identify the goals of the project, create an evaluation instrument to assess these goals, observe behaviors and gather user feedback, and convey the findings through both a written and an oral report. This semester, multiple organizations will serve as the learning lab for the course projects and students will choose from a pre-determined list of products to study. Although the projects are narrow in range, the skills are applicable across disciplines and kinds of educational products.
