Using a toolkit to support the evaluation of learning

Many resources have been developed to support particular evaluation methodologies. However, the more complex problems of helping academics decide which methodology best suits their needs and then create a plan that will allow them to implement this remain largely unaddressed. In this paper, a toolkit is described that attempts to tackle these problems. A two-part evaluation of the toolkit's impact is then presented, which demonstrates that this approach does enhance design, supports reflection and prompts users to consider the most appropriate, not just the most familiar, approach to evaluation.
