Abstract: This paper explores the evaluation of distance education (DE) through various qualitative and quantitative methods, focusing on key variables that influence student engagement and performance. The research emphasizes the importance of evaluating the use of technology in education, highlighting the need for well-defined variables and clear research questions to measure the effectiveness of DE programs. Generally, the paper discusses three key evaluation tools: Joosten’s inventory, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and the Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ), each tailored to assess different aspects of student experiences and self-regulation in online learning environments. These tools provide valuable insights into how students interact with DE courses and the strategies they use to succeed, with the potential to inform the future development and improvement of distance education programs. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of continuous data collection throughout the semester to ensure accurate and timely evaluations, which are crucial for enhancing DE effectiveness and addressing challenges associated with this rapidly growing educational model.
