Recenzje

"...a very interesting and useful book. It is timely in its appearance and it will prove to be a good reference for students, developers, and evaluators alike. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of the case studies -- they provide contextual frameworks that enable the developer to choose a production similar to his/her own as the starting point for development of a formative evaluation plan. After reading Flagg's book, I feel that my future projects can have a better rationalized approach to formative evaluation."
—Canadian Journal of Educational Communication

"This volume is of interest to all scientists who are engaged in research and development of new computer aided instructional products. They will find a lot of stimuli of any kind."
—Experimental Pathology

"...I recommend this book strongly and am looking for ways to use it as a text in my own classes as well as a reference in my writing and an exciting source of new citations and studies...It is a good book from both theoretical and practice-oriented perspectives, and I hope it leads the way for other books in the complicated area of the formative evaluation of new technological instrumentation."
—Journal of Research on Computing in Education
