Well, it took a little longer than I wanted, but my first eval is complete. I finished up my evaluation of Rosetta Stone today, and started to evaluate Busuu. I have to say that my evaluation really is geared toward a more traditional classroom and not just any course done electronically. I took the word "elearning" in the project description as any course, and Rosetta Stone came as a software package (although it can be updated online). My other two platforms are actually online courses.
Things like a formal syllabus are more than likely lacking in all three elearning courses, however I am allowing for things that can serve as a syllabus without explicitly being called one to serve in their place. A good example is when you begin Rosetta Stone, it gives you a walkthrough of what you will learn throughout that module. This could be similar to what you would receive in a tradtional course.
With (a little less than) two evaluations to go I should be finished out by the end of the week, and ready for a nice break from classes for a little while!
