=E-learning design and (re)development procedures include a formal post-delivery review. =

Evidence
As part of the need for review and evaluation of the effectiveness of courses and projects it is important to ensure that they meet the needs of the institution and its programmes. Review of the materials regularly ensures that they continue to meet the objectives of the students, the course and the wider programme context as well as ensuring that the online materials referenced are still appropriate and available.

Resources
Attwell (2006) provides a comprehensive guide with examples of tools that can be used in the evaluation of e-learning programs. Attwell emphasizes the need for iteration between theory and practice. This means courses (in this case learning objectives) must be redesigned in an ongoing manner according to evaluation.

Botturi et al. (2007) also provide a thorough description of ‘Managing e-learning quality in practice’ and provide a lightweight ‘e-lab’ tool for reviewing the quality of e-learning provision.
