Evaluating DL programs

I have had an interesting week.  Since the military is ever-changing and constantly seeking improvement, from time to time, as employees of such, we are required to be re-trained in accordance with new policies and guidance.  As our institution undergoes the preparation for accreditation evaluation next year, our mission this week was to be retrained in the basic instructor course.  This is a course I have been teaching for more than four years, but since there have been some changes in the delivery of the material and some parts and pieces have been added, my co-workers and I are walking a mile in our students' shoes for the next two weeks, as we participate in the validation of the new course as students.  It reminds me of basic training all over again..
Although I was very surprised that I was nervous to teach a lesson I have taught many times before as I was evaluated by an outside instructor, I think I was most surprised at the disappointment I felt about the prerequisite IMI training.  The new course has a required self-paced DL portion to be completed before the classroom portion is begun.  While taking these many hours of coursework, I was so disappointed at the quality of the material, it made me doubt my chosen degree.... How can I be one semester from graduating this LSTE program and hate DL this much?  But I think I can answer my own question... it's not that I hate DL itself, I just am very disappointed in the poorly executed DL.  DL can be very interactive and effective for teaching and learning, and I think participating as a student from time to time is a good wake-up call to challenge us to create learning products that are effective, engaging and of better quality than some of the courses that are available now.  While I was pondering on my next steps in education, I did find this interesting document online. It is an evaluation tool for online education programs.  As we incorporate technology into our organizations, I thought this might be a helpful evaluation tool.  Evaluating DE & CE
