Validation and Application of an Objectives Analysis Tool for Course Evaluation

This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a multivariate matrix to evaluate courses verifying compatibility with Tyler's principles within Bloom's criteria. By combining these two constructs, a matrix can be constructed which will provide both a means of evaluating the completeness of a course curriculum unit and a basis for comparing distance-learning curriculum units with their traditional counterparts. We will focus on the development of the model, its implementation, and discuss our plans for validating the model using empirical data.
