Abstract

CTER Online is a master of education program developed in 1998 at the College of Education, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, aimed at precollege teachers interested in issues concerning curriculum, technology, and education reform. The first set of 26 students graduated in May 2000. This paper presents an evaluation of CTER Online over its first two years, describing the initial stakeholder analysis that motivated the design of the evaluation, presenting data from surveys and from in-depth case studies, and outlining the overall theoretical framework for the design, implementation, and revision of CTER OnLine. It concludes with recommendations for online education.
