This case study provides an opportunity to apply the strategy presented earlier in this lesson. Read it, then (if you want) answer questions about it in the spaces provided. Click "View the Answers of Your Peers" if you want to compare your answers with those of other users. Click "View the Experts' Answers" if you want to compare your answers with those of experts. Keep in mind that because evaluations are complex tasks, the expert's analyses are not the only plausible ones that can be made.

Case Study: Computer-based Simulation Workshop.

A university has implemented workshops to aid science faculty in using a new computer-based simulation in their teaching. The goal of the evaluation is to determine how much impact the workshops have had on the participants' teaching methods. The evaluators send a questionnaire to all participants six months after the workshop, asking how they used the simulation in their teaching. The indicators of use include number of times used and expectations of future use.
