چکیده (انگلیسی):

With contemporary requirements for objective measurement, program evaluation is a certain
necessity. Most program evaluation is designed in response to external demands for assessment.
Moreover, such evaluation is typically developed only after programs already exist. However, the
proliferation of online learning provides new opportunities for approaching evaluation.
Specifically, many higher education institutions are currently augmenting existing campus-based
programs with online learning—either by hybridizing traditional delivery or by providing parallel
online options. At the University of Hawaii, while designing a parallel online delivery model for
an existing campus-based program, careful consideration was given to the unique requirements
for evaluation and assessment. In this way, an overall plan for evaluat ion was developed that
incorporated multiple layers of assessment: from specific programmatic to internal university to
external accreditation requirements. Commonalities among the multiple layers were considered to
develop a single, overall evaluation approach. In a case study model, this paper describes eight
practical steps taken to develop an overall, effective evaluation model.
