Reviews / Votes
"Educational Technology Program and Project Evaluation provides foundational knowledge, framework, tools, and methods of evaluation for implementing educational projects, programs, products, practices, and policies. As long as the impact of ICT in education is a primary concern, the information on evaluation in this book will be crucial, and the guidance and resources it provides will be of great help in practice."Gu Xiaoqing, Dean, Department of Educational Information Technology, East China Normal University, China
"Educational Technology Program and Project Evaluation is a well-organized resource written for anyone who desires to better understand and document an education technology initiative. This text not only describes evaluation models and strategies, but also provides helpful guidance in understanding the educational context of the evaluation. I will recommend this book to Intel (c) Corporation's program managers and ministry of education officials around the world."
