The CALL Courseware Evaluation Framework of Hubbard

I am so impressed by the the evaluation framework of Hubbard (1988, pp.69); it is so unique that each complicated detail is so clearly presented in one single chart, provided in the form of a framework from which teachers can develop their own evaluation procedures in any training courses. It really gives a great insight to language teachers on how to evaluate a course with clarity, flexibility and readability.

However, I think it would be quite time-consuming spending on describing each little detail in the tasks of the courseware, rather than just going through a checklist or a list of questions to be answered in a traditional evaluation form. But still, the more time you invest in it, the deeper insight you will get. It is worthy though!

As a fresh one experiencing new technologies in language teaching, I already could see how far behind I am, since quite thorough courseware development has been established in the field...
