Selecting and Evaluating Digital Learning Materials for Engineering Education Abstract This workshop introduces faculty members who are interested in integrating digital learning materials in their courses to a set of criteria and methods useful in selecting and evaluating the quality of these materials to help achieve course goals. The workshop focuses on the different resources (including educational digital libraries) and research on teaching and learning available for faculty members to use to locate and select helpful digital learning materials, as well as on how to evaluate those materials. Participants will be introduced to a general intellectual framework for integrating digital learning materials that stresses identifying the particular learning objectives for the use of particular materials. Participants will be introduced to a number of educational digital libraries to find these resources, including NEEDS (www.needs.org) and MERLOT (www.merlot.org). They will have a hands-on opportunity to use these educational digital libraries and become familiar with the features and services that each offers to help its users select and locate materials. Participants will be introduced to two sets of evaluation criteria: those used in the NEEDS Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Courseware and the MERLOT peer review process. They will have an opportunity to apply these criteria to better understand the metrics for quality in digital learning materials and to learn how to apply these metrics to materials they are considering using to help achieve their course goals.
