The MLLS evaluation team uses a success-based approach to
evaluation. We use the research base and the experience of large scale
educational technology initiatives to move beyond the question of
whether technology can improve student learning to using the
idenetified conditions and strategies for using technology which do
improve the quality of a school's instructional program as a benchmark
for evaluation. Doing so, the MLLS evaluation team can provide critical
formative assessment to local project leaders about what they are doing
well, what challenges they face, and can make recommendations on how to
address the challenges.
