Interesting item in which a mathematical model for evaluatig the effetciveness of a course is presented. The process sums measurements of properties along three major facets of online instruction: the use of different media, the employment of different learning styles, and the degree of interaction in the course. These criteria are supplemented with a summative evaluation that should be applied in five major areas: content factors, learning factors, delivery support factors, usability factors, and technological factors. This is a useful framework that should perhaps be given a bit more substance. p.s. Authors - when you cite your "previous two articles" in the body of an article, provide a link! It's easy to do and it avoids angering your readers.
