Drawing on Design to Improve Evaluation of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning:
Two Complementary Views. (Nash, Richter, Allert)
Available October 2003 in T. Roberts (Ed.) Online Collaborative Learning in Higher Education: Theory and Practice. Hershey, PA: Idea Group Publishing.

Determining Salient Outcomes in a Multi-Stakeholder Environment:
New Models for ALN Course Assessment (Nash)
When projects become large and complex, they begin to resemble programs. Therefore they deserve a programmatic approach when it comes to evaluation.

Defining and Evaluating CSCL Projects (Nash, Plugge, Eurlings. EuroCSCL 2001)
An often-heard complaint is that evaluation methodology is subverted by a myriad of confounding variables brought on by others involved in the project. Why is this happening and how can we avoid this?

Theory-anchored evaluation applied to a CSCL intense course in Bioinformatics
(Andersson, et al. EuroCSCL 2001)
WGLN colleagues in Sweden tested the theory-anchored evaluation model in practice. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how a theory-anchored evaluation approach can contribute to the design and evaluation efforts of a course in Bioinformatics.

A multi-disciplinary framework for the design and evaluation of computer supported learning-environments (Richter, Allert; E-Learn 2002)
This paper discusses the need for a multi-disciplinary communication platform in order to coordinate the design and evaluation of computer supported learning environments.
