Evaluation of Flexible Programs - Module 4

Having now read through the entire module 4 and through some of the checklists, it is now clear to me the whole process of evaluation and the full extent of the different processes and the procedures that it can inform.

Whilst reading through Eseryel as shown in the previous post, Shufflebeam's CIPP (Conext, Input, Process, Product) model came out as the most appropriate to my context in my mind. It seemed the most appopriate to my situation in catering for online/flexible delivery and the face to face classroom.

But as read through the notes of module 4, the depth of the evaluation becomes more apparent. The 4 areas of evaluation are:

1. Context
2. Input
3. Process and
4. Product

However, as I now know, these are not just the different types of evaluation that can take place, but these indicate 4 completely different areas, and line up well (it seems to me) to the ADDIE method of instructional design as each area focuses and infroms the different areas of ID using the ADDIE method.

It certainly seems exhaustive, so will keep reading and thinking about it's implementation in my context.
