Abstract
This article presents a case study evaluation of some components of a suite of computer-assisted learning materials known as GeotechniCAL wh ich were developed under the Teaching and Learning Technology Programm e (TLTP) initiative. The approaches used for different aspects of eval uation are outlined and the procedures used to evaluate two packages a re presented. These involve both formative and summative evaluations w ith students and tilters. Formative evaluations proved useful as a mea ns of feeding back to developers during the project. Summative evaluat ions were used to identify whether the final product was seen to be us eful.
