15. Formative Evaluation: The tutorial will be evaluated by the following: • Peer Evaluation Each individual will email me to the email I will be providing them when they send me the doc. They will give me input on how the training was carried. They will provide feedback what parts of the training need to be more understandable from taking steps to following the step-by step instruction method. I will then take the feedback and improve my training for the best instructional method. • Subject Matter Evaluation An individual who is knowledgeable in Google docs will revise to ensure the objectives were carried out by identifying the following: • A doc was created and the sentences provided were input correctly. • The following sentence provided were grammatically corrected. • The doc was shared successfully , feedback will be given in return.
