This article reviews the published evaluations used in online formal courses in higher education. These courses can generally be described as representing those that are totally asynchronous, or that containing a significant asynchronous component, regarding the graded part of the course. They represent courses that are either Web-based or that use some other computer conferencing technologies. The ten instruments reviewed indicated three general categories of evaluation: pre-course, mid-course, and post-course. Three evaluations (30.0%) were given pre-course, two (20.0%) were given mid-course, and five (50.0%) were post-course evaluations. Questions in each of these three categories break down into several broad sub-categories.
