Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although most online instructional material probably will never see a formative evaluator, most online get some vetting by an expert in a quality review (a Stage 1). This chapter includes a discussion of two of the best-known 3-stage models of formative evaluation of instructional material, namely: the Dick and Carey model and the Alessi and Trollip model. These models help to make formative evaluation tried and true. Other ingredients for a tried and true formative evaluation are “learning domains” and “events of instruction.” These are still crucial and must always be part of a formative evaluation of online instructional materials. Also important however, is knowing the main emphasis of the instructional material in the distributed environment, and sufficient evidence of acknowledgment of multimedia learning principles.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
