Mary Kay: Hi Dave! So, what’s formative evaluation?
David Powell: In Instructional Design, formative evaluation is used to assess ongoing projects during their construction as a way to quickly spot issues and implement improvements. Formative Evaluation employs all standard evaluation techniques such as surveys, interviews, data collection and experiments.
Mary Kay Lofurno: Thanks for that explanation, Dave. Have a terrific afternoon!
David Powell: You too, talk with you soon!
