This guide is for practitioners and their managers, for tutors and trainers who need to assess the quality of open and distance learning materials, including computer-based learning. It offers both a framework and advice to help them to select, buy or commission materials appropriate for their audience.
The guide offers useful suggestions, practical hints and tips on evaluation methods, techniques and cost-effectiveness. Checklists in the guide on quality issues understand the importance of learners' viewpoints, as well as those of 'experts' and independent third parties, in deciding how materials should be evaluated.
Readers will benefit from the potential savings in money, time and effort by becoming more informed about what to look for from the huge choice of materials available.

‘The benefits for those selecting is clear: the chance to save money, time,
effort and improve results.’
