This chapter introduces online assessment and evaluation and explores strategies to overcome challenges in their design, development, and delivery in online settings. It argues that both assessment and evaluation are process-driven, involving many stakeholders including faculty, administrators, and students. This process includes needs assessment, strategies for asking good questions, knowing where to find information, and how to communicate findings in persuasive ways. By developing a comprehensive system, one based on reliable research principles, faculty and administrators can harvest considerable data that enable stakeholders to refine educational programs and maximize learning.

The development of a comprehensive supervisory training program for V.A. Medical Center personnel is described. The program draws upon the literature of both organizational psychology and cognitive-behavior therapy and has four basic components: (a) needs assessment and evaluation, (b) awareness-building and cognitive restructuring, (c) skill training, and (d) application on the job. The training program consists of 16 modules developed on the basis of a preliminary needs assessment and literature review. An initial investigation of the model's efficacy indicated significant improvements in the supervisors' knowledge of sound supervisory practices as well as high levels of satisfaction and self-reported productivity in a sample of supervisors who underwent training. Plans for outcome research and the continuing need for an integration of subdisciplines are discussed.
