The role of evaluation in an effective development of didactic materials: The MD2 approach

Evaluation is one of the most important activities in the didactic materials development since it allows developers to check if the properties of obtained material satisfy all the requirements established at begin of its development and if that material can be an effective support to achieve the educational goals of any instructional situation. Its results are crucial data for the material redesign in such cases when those requirements or educational goals are not satisfied. Here we describe our vision of evaluation in the MD2 development approach that proposes to assess the didactic materials based on their pedagogical utility and usability.
