In this workpackage we idenditified evaluation criteria for online teaching and learning in virtual environments. To do so, expert interviews within the Avalon partnership were conducted. Based on a survey which served as a first orientation concerning tendencies and possible evaluation criteria an interview guideline was developed. Eight experts were interviewed. Two reports were produced which inform the project coordinator and the project partners about the evaluation criteria identified during the expert interviews.

Based on the results of the Expert interviews a pre-course and a
post-course-survey for participants were developed. The pre-course survey
serves as a "check-in" in order to get information about the
participants that are relevant for the teachers. The post-course-survey
evaluates the course. The surveys are provided as printable files as
well as as Limesurvey (an open source surveying tool) questionnaire.

The answers from the participants' survey were analysed and presented in

written and pictorial form. Documents with descriptive pie charts were
prepared for each AVALON-course as well as an elaborated report based on
the answers from all surveys together.

On the basis of the participants' survey and the evaluation report an 
qualitative interview guideline for participants was developed and 8 participants 
from the business english course were interviewed representativly. These 
interviews gave a more detailed insight in certain thematic issues which 
arose during the analysis of the previous survey.
