9. Evaluation's Role in Implementation
After an instructional program or educational object has been developed,
formative and summative evaluations can be conducted. A formative
evaluation should take place soon after the project has been implemented,
so that if necessary, minor changes may be made to the existing
instructional program. Summative evaluations occur at or near the
end of a project. The purpose of a summative evaluation is to assess
whether the project met its initial goals. If initial goals were
not met, the summative evaluation can be used in a formative manner,
to advance the next iteration of the project.
