[Assessment 835] Re: DL question on evaluationVenu Thelakkat VenuT at lacnyc.orgTue Jul 10 15:13:20 EDT 2007
I can speak only from my experiences in New York State, which has a large number of students in Distance Learning programs. The State Education Department, which sets policies on management and assessment in these programs, have started conducting analyses on the effectiveness of distance learning programs vis-à-vis regular classroom programs (not that much difference in effectiveness) and programs themselves are encouraged to look at the NRS reports of distance learning programs separately. Distance learning programs are evaluated in NY the same way as other services are, using NRS guidelines. Starting in FY2008 (December 2009) the Federal Department of Education is going to ask all states provide disaggregated reports on students in distance learning programs, so the focus on these services is intensifying.

How do DL programs within a particular state get evaluated in terms of their effectiveness?
