This course did not distinguish between formative and summative evaluation. The overall focus on this course was summative evaluation, which includes summative and formative assessment. That said, the definitions and examples of summative and formative assessments were spot on (RE: module 2), while in module 4 it is stated "assessments leads to course revision" is inconsistent with the reference to Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of "evaluation" that includes formative evaluation, a process used to improve instruction. It appears another module on formative and summative evaluation would help clarify the differences between these two processes

Also, a bibliography or list of "relevant" sources on summative and formative evaluation could prove useful in that it would provide opportunity for further learning experiences.
