E+=+Evaluation

E = Evaluation
All learning experiences should be evaluated, whether formally or informally, or both. Evaluation should be both summative and formative as described in the ADDIE model. (Strickland) Key questions that emerge include:
 * Has the learning intention been realised?
 * To what extent can the learner demonstrate mastery of the knowledge, skills and understanding of the materials presented?
 * How effective, and suitable have the methods of delivery been?
 * What learning is now needed? This of course leads us back to the Analysis stage of the model.

How WILL this stage be implemented?
NB This stage is yet to be fully implemented. New staff will be surveyed in relation to their attitudes to the New Staff Induction process, just as students are asked to evaluate all teaching and learning programs at the conclusion of a unit. This information will be fed back into the refinement of the extant materials, and to the development of new materials This evaluation can be both formal and informal - via Discussion posts on this wiki, through ongoing face to face staff induction meetings (once per term new staff meet as a group with the Deputy), through personal feedback with the Coordinator of Teaching and Learning(electronic or face to face), through observations by their coordinator or the Leadership Team, through informal evidence of familiarity with processes and protocols, or through discussion with their mentor. Staff who have undertaken any of the New Staff Induction modules will be encouraged to reflect on and discuss their experiences on this wiki through the discussion pages. In particular, the explicit metacognitive dimension of the course will be realised through this stage of the process and will support the inculcation of the pedagogies desired by the College's strategic plan and vision.

How successful was this stage?
The success of this stage will in part be dependent upon the success of e-moderation on this wiki. It will also be realised through the quality of the feedback on the induction materials themselves and through the identification of further learning needs.
