Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of conducting formative evaluations. The Master's of Education in Educational Technology at Northern Arizona University is a young online program in its second year of implementation. Because online degree programs are new to the educational arena, little is known about the best pedagogy, workload for both faculty and students, and effectiveness of the program. This formative evaluation will collect information from stakeholders to the program. Data sources are online surveys, synchronous and asynchronous interviews, and anecdotal data. Preliminary results are discussed.
