Evaluation Plan

Throughout the duration of the Belle Project, quantitative and qualitative evaluation tools will be used to establish the feasibility and acceptability of the broadband-enabled learning environments. These results will have an impact on both technology and learning as they are fed back into the teaching and learning development process.

The continuing cooperation, communication and commitment of all of the partners are necessary to the success of the Belle Project. These evaluative steps are presented in that spirit of collaboration.
