  Workshop Description  
   
  One of the greatest challenges for those using technology in higher education is determining if its application in a course has truly had a positive result. For those that are looking to evaluate their use of technology in a class, it is important to note that underlying all instructional uses of technology is an instructional strategy. This short course will provide methodologies for determining if innovative instructional strategies have had an improvement on student learning, and much of the focus of this short course will be upon evaluating instructional strategies that utilize technology. Those who are motivated by continuous instructional improvement will find this short course to be of great interest. Participants will be provided with practical approaches to evaluating instruction, enabling them to ask and answer the right questions to assess the gaps in results and the consequences. While all materials presented in this short course will be grounded in instructional evaluation theory, participants will find the strategies provided to be exceptionally practical and accessible.
