Evaluation and user testing of e-learning resources is critical for their success but do we always spend enough time and effort on getting this right? This event is aimed at a basic level and will offer examples of good practice in this area, as well as practical advice on how to evaluate and carry out user testing effectively.  

This is a joint event run by the Visitor Studies Group in association with the E-Learning Group for Museums, Libraries and Archives.
