The book presents practical advice in the form of an evaluation framework and a scaffolded approach to an e-learning research study using divide-and-conquer techniques to reduce complexity in both design and delivery. It adapts and builds on familiar research methodology to offer a robust and accessible approach that can ensure effective evaluation of a wide range of innovative initiatives including those covered in other books in the <em>Connecting with e-Learning</em> series. </p><p>Readers will find this jargon-free guide is a must-have resource that provides the proper tools for evaluating e-learning practices with ease.</p>
