چکیده

During a session of the April 1999 Annual Conference of the Texas Distance Learning Association (TxDLA), the authors employed a case study of evaluating the Texas Woman's University distance education program to stimulate discussion among conference participants. This approach was highly successful, resulting in enthusiastic sharing of knowledge, concerns, and strategies related to evaluation of distance education programs provided by colleges and universities. It also stimulated a broader discussion of issues and concerns related to the challenges for successfully implementing distance education programs. Both the case study presented during the TxDLA Annual Conference and a summary of the dialog among conference participants appear here.
