Assessing and Evaluating Instructional Technologies

The author of http://codeconnoisseur.org/it/edit6100/task1 defines Instructional Technology as "a method or style of delivering information to a student or audience is devised and then put into action. The delivery technique and audience are then monitored in some way so as to determine the effectiveness of the delivery process. This feedback data then gives the designers of the delivery mechanism a way to measure the effectiveness of the process and a chance to improve upon the process by introducing new elements and/or eliminating ineffective elements of the delivery method and try again, and again."

Any instruction in the classroom must cater to the needs of the students ad so that must be taken into consideration when assessing and evaluating instructional technologies. 

The fields that may be considered are intellectual skill, cognitive strategies, verbal information, motor skills, and attitudes as well as learning styles and environment. Planning and implementation must also be taken into consideration. Finally, intended outcomes must be considered. 

All these elements are placed within a lesson plan. If the information within does not ensure that the students have the best chance at grasping a concept then the objectives and the procedures as well as the assessment(s) should be reconsidered.

This leads me to question whether or not the bulk of information is really to protect the regular man or protect the  "secrets"  of a business. Aside from universities publishing guidelines on the use of their networks, links like the one above give general information on computer policies. The bottom line is the link to the outside and business world and not a regular person in their home. How come there aren't m...
