Once a course or lesson you have designed is over, you will need to look into the mirror of an end evaluation (activity 1). You will need to validate the quality of your own design decision-making. This end evaluation is always a moment of truth. You will be surprised (sometimes pleasantly and some-times not so pleasantly) at what you see.
Was the design a didactical success? Was there too much on-the-spot designing to be done? Was the design easy to work with? How did the students experience the design?
As the designer you are now interested in:
1. the didactical effect of the design
2. the quality of each student’s learning experiences
3. how the design fitted into the system
There are very few designs which will not need some modification before the course or lessons they steer are given a second time.
