Key points

* Evaluation refers to the systematic acquisition of feedback on the use, worth and impact of some activity, program or process in relation to its intended outcomes. Any evaluation strategy should include front-end analysis, formative, summative and integrative evaluation activities. Evaluation of e-learning is no different and should aim at gathering data from all stakeholders.
