The document discusses the need for institutions to take a more formal approach to evaluating learning technologies. It introduces some existing evaluation frameworks like the Educause rubric and SECTIONS model. It then outlines UCEM's approach, which involved thoroughly investigating requirements, identifying systems to evaluate, developing a testing plan based on the Educause rubric, testing functionality and data flows, and involving stakeholders before selecting a new assessment platform. Attendees at the talk were asked to provide ideas on evaluation processes and challenges through a Mural board.
