Evaluation in blended learning:
Jean-Marie Ducatel defines evaluation as the process of collecting information as accurate as possible and as comprehensive as possible, followed by the analysis of this information in order to make a decision or judgment. Evaluation requires placing the learner in a certain position to ensure that learning is taking place, and thus measuring it from a measurement network consisting of a set of predetermined learning elements that show performance.
The following is a design for the blended learning and e-learning evaluation, according to Bloom's scale, in addition to including it on possible evaluation activities and criteria that will help judge the quality of the learner's performance.
