Computerized evaluation simulator based on the CIPP model [PDF]
An attempt was made to build a computer simulation model based on an evaluation model. The model (CIPP) systematically examined each stage of evaluation activities (context, input, process, and product of a project). The administrators, funds, and program effectiveness were considered as major factors in a simulation model. An optimal solution approach
