Formative Evaluation and Revisions Report

After you complete your tryout of your instructional materials with at least three (3) people, preferably in a one-to-one mode, you should report on exactly what you did, what the results were, and what revisions you would make (if you had time) to the analysis, design, or materials. This does not have to be a long report, but it should be complete, well-written, etc.

A possible outline to use follows:

I. Introduction

A paragraph or two (more if really necessary) on what the project set out to accomplish, why it was done, what the product being evaluated is, and so forth.

II. Methods

How you did the tryout, including learners, procedures, setting, etc.

III. Results and Discussion

What happened? Summarize the data that you collected from tests, checklists, surveys, questions asked during the tryout, and so forth. Discuss what these data mean for the product being evaluated, the needs assessment, the analysis, the design, the learners, etc.

IV. Revisions to be Made

In a separate section, explain what revisions you would now make in your instructional product, from typo correction to redoing the analysis and design. Explain why you would make those revisions, as much as possible basing them on the data you collected.
