Abstract

Methods for determining a treatment\´s efficacy are continually evolving and improving, yet challenge clearly exist. Even now, assessment of large-scale, multi-dimensional, Web-delivered programs brings with it a host of difficulties. We describe a framework for measuring the impact of PRISM (Portal Resources for Indiana Science and Mathematics), a digital resources library and a "community of practice" for Indiana teachers of middle school mathematics, science, and technology
