Abstract

The paper reviews both the types of CAL in use at the Open University over the previous fifteen years and currently in the context of the literature on CAL in HE more generally. A framework for evaluating CAL is then proposed that focuses on Context, Interactions and Outcomes (CIAO) and an example of the evaluation approach in action is given.
