What is Declarative vs. Procedural Knowledge

Multimedia systems waltzed into the lives of students and educators without allowing anyone the time required for the development of suitable evaluation techniques. Although everyone in the field is aware that judging this type of teaching software can only come through evaluations, the work done in this regard is scarce and ill-organized. Unfortunately, in many of the cases the evaluation forms were just filled in by instructors who pretended to be students when they went through the tutorial systems (Reiser & Kegelmann, 1994). Nowadays, however, awareness of the impact of evaluation results on the credibility of the claims made is rising.
