Simultaneously, there has been a surge in efforts to promote access to distance learning programming. Distance learning is commonly used to reach learners who need flexible learning opportunities, as well as to reach groups excluded from formal education institutions. As countries and education agencies take up distance learning, it is important to design and implement evidence-based strategies for monitoring and evaluation to measure whether distance learning efforts are serving the intended communities and achieving intended objectives. The purpose of this review is to support education practitioners, donors, implementers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations, and other stakeholders in applying best practices to monitor and evaluate distance learning initiatives designed for diverse learners and implemented both within and outside of learning institutions. Broad input, review and feedback on early drafts of this toolkit were solicited and incorporated from the education sector in Washington, D.C. and Missions.}, language = {English}, urldate = {2021-02-24}, institution = {USAID}, author = {Morris, Emily and Farrell, Anna and Venetis, Emma}, year = {2021}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2129771:EZSRY9S6 2129771:P7YWCRB4 2129771:UTMME86C}, keywords = {\_genre:LR-literature\_review, ⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {85}, }
