eLearning Toolkit Evaluation Rubric

The evaluations you see on tools found within this toolkit were conducted by members of the WTS eLearning Team and the Centre for Teaching and Learning. Evaluations are intended to aid readers in quickly assessing the qualities of a particular tool in meeting pedagogical, technical, and social aspects of teaching and learning through effective use of technology.

Evaluations were conducted based on a Rubric for eLearning Tool Evaluation developed by the team. The rubric consists of eight categories and twenty-seven sub-categories, each with three levels of quality:
