From the Paper:

"There are varieties of procedures that can be used to inform the activities of those involved in providing and supporting instruction. In distance education, the separation between teachers and students usually involves instruction or learning experiences being mediated through written or recorded materials. These 'published' materials often remain in the same form for several (or many) cohorts of learners, although some modifications and amendments can be made. In turn, this separation entails the absence of direct verbal and non-verbal feedback from students that is crucial in all teaching. The evaluation of any distance education teaching materials or course of instruction may serve to provide information that can be used during the process of developing or preparing materials or learning experiences, known as formative evaluation procedures (Slide 6), or information about how well the 'finished' instruction has worked in normal use, known as summative evaluation procedures (Slide 7)."
