Hi!
Noting a new presence on the WEB:
Network for the Evaluation of Education and Training Technologies
http://socserv2.mcmaster.ca/srnet/evnet.htm
Quotes from their web site (by colleague Simon Rae):
"A partnership among 60 public, private, & non-profit organizations."
"We provide evaluation services customized to the needs of education and
training organizations"
"A $4.3 million research consortium assessing instructional technologies
in worksites, schools, colleges, and universities."
"The quality of Canadian education and training is being undermined by
the improper use of instructional technologies. E-mail,
teleconferencing, interactive educational TV, the world wide web,
INTERNET newsgroups, and online chat rooms are being
used with little evaluation of their effectiveness in learning and
training. In some cases, education has become more costly and
ineffective because of the improper use of computers in schools,
colleges, universities, workplaces, and community
organizations. EvNet (Network for the Evaluation of Education and
Training Technologies) proposes to remedy this situation
by evaluating the effectiveness of computer-mediated communications in
the delivery of education and training."
Colleqially,
