As a follow up to the earlier posting about the recent EDUCAR research report on an evaluation framework for CMSes, this link points to the actual project site from Brandeis University from which the research report sprang. The report itself deserves a more studied response, but worthy of highlight on this site are both the instructor and student surveys, which exemplify the approach being promoted. I think there is lots to admire in this approach, not least of which is the seemingly obvious (yet often not followed) advice to include student feedback in one’s decision making process. – SWL
