One approach which is becoming very popular nowadays is to measure the effectiveness of e-Learning solutions via analysis of data gathered from authentic educational environments. This constitutes the ultimate goal of the underlying book. More specifically, this book discusses and presents several evaluation approaches as they have been applied in real life. Criticisms, best practices, and lessons learned from these approaches are discussed. The book includes innovative contributions and real world evaluation studies in authentic learning environments by experienced researchers in e-Learning. (Imprint: Nova)
