This chapter developed a framework for evaluating e-learning for use in Human Computer
Interaction (HCI). A systems approach was used in the study; input, processes and output. Eleven
categorizations of evaluation of e-learning were identified and five categorizations were examined
because the remaining six overlapped with the five categorizations used. A twelfth categorization;
matching learning theories to learning outcomes was added by this author. For each
categorization, two studies were examined and compared for use of theory, criteria, objectives and
outcomes. Altogether, within each categorization examined, the evaluations were not conducted in
the same way making it difficult to compare. This author hopes that over the years, a consistency
in evaluations would be achieved for use in HCI.
