Library Journal posted published a great article by Derek Malone on October 4th regarding instruction evaluation for online classes. This is an interesting angle that I’d not considered, and apparantly, many instruction librarians had not considered. In the growing world of online education, this seems very important. Anyone interested in library instruction, instructional design, and information literacy should check this article out.
