The main Purpose for Assessing and Measuring an e-Learning application are
• to determine whether the e-learning course has accomplished its
objectives
• to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the e-learning process
• to identify who benefited the most or the least from the course
• to collect data to assist in developing future applications
• to determine the benefit/cost ratio of the e-learning course Other demands
for evaluation
• The newness of e-learning to many groups brings pressure to develop
information about its effectiveness and efficiency as a learning solution.
• Because e-learning is not a proven process, there is a need to show value
now rather than later when it becomes a routine process.
