Formative evaluation gives real results as the extent of the validity of the project submitted. Where it is in the development stage as it gives specific guidance on the kinks at each stage of the design stages. This gives us a good opportunity for the development and improvement before starting the execution, which helps to reach the desired goal.

"Formative evaluation is conducted during the process of designing and development the materials while there's still time to make changes. Summative evaluation measures the effectiveness of instruction after it has been finalized." (Lecture Note).

During the first phase of the project design (analysis phase) and found several recipes

characteristics of participants

During the first phase of the project design (analysis phase) and found several recipes they are involved, including:

1- All of the targeted are teachers of elementary schools.

2- Thy did not use iMovie  before.

. 3- They have the basics of computer use

. 4- Thy have a desire to use technology in education

. 5- All of them have experience of not less than five years in education

. 6- all-male sex

This helps us a lot in choosing the right tools to deliver the project in proportion to their

characteristics. Also it helps in building the content according to the quality of our targets and what should we say and what we must not say.

The materials and instruments used in the evaluation

Due to the value of our project is submitted, the first steps to success is the involvement of experts and some of the target in the evaluation process. This helps a lot in the detection of defects that may be unclear to us. Can not build any project according to a personal opinion because it certainly would lose a lot of elements that make it an integrated and comprehensive.

"A fourth class of strategies is termed participant-oriented models. As the term suggests, they emphasize the central importance of the evaluation participants, especially clients and users of the program or technology. Client-centered and stakeholder approaches are examples of participant-oriented models, as are consumer-oriented evaluation systems. "(William M.K 2006).

The preparation of questions of the most important matters to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the project, and I have been chosen two people from the experts.The first one in curriculum design and the other in training  program design ,and questions were as follows:

1. Are the objectives clear and  been achieved?

2. Is the content sequential and interdependent makes the learning process more effective?

3. What is your assessment of the stimuli provided in the project?

4-Any other observations you see that we need them to raise the level of the project .

There will come a comment on the results of the questionnaire later. After this phase of the evaluation moved into a one to one, where it reflects the value that is gained from the educational situation and skills gained from the impact of this project.

"The One to one evaluation (stage) must to consider the learner time, attitude and skill. Feedback must be constructive and mutual. During this state, the designer works individually with three or more learners who are representative of the target population."(EDER 673 Instructional Design)

Where I followed this approach in the evaluation and the questions were as follows:

1. Is access to information was easy? (Very easy - somewhat - Saab)

2. What is the level of quality educational videos? (Excellent - average - poor)

3. Review the general shape of the site (excellent - average - poor)

4- Any other observations you see that we need them to raise the level of the project .

The procedures in the evaluation

The procedures followed in the evaluation phase is by correspondence via email. Most of the targeted those who participated with me in the beginning in the analysis phase are in Saudi Arabia, and do I translate the questions of the Arabic language, and after taking the answers I do again translated for the English language. I also engaged the five people who speak English in the evaluation of the project through given them the questions manually.

Instructional Strategy Component	Problem Identified	Proposed Changes to instruction	Evidence and source
Entry skills test	None	None	None
Motivational material	Need to increase	Require further development of higher-order thinking skills	Feedback from experts
Pretest	not enough	add an activity illustrates the prior skills	Feedback from experts
Information Presentation	The expansion of knowledge	Add the names of other similar applications to increase the experience	Feedback from experts
Learner Participation	None	None	Attitude questionnaires
Posttest	details	Questions need more details	Feedback from experts.
Attitude questionnaire	None	None	None
Transfer to performance context	None	None	None

The usefulness of the site to provide skills:

The quality of provided videos :

revision plan

Through of those proceedings in the formative assessment for all stages of design, which has given a clear vision of what should be developed or added or canceled.

First: the educational objectives must be the most suitable place than it is now. Where you should be at the beginning of the Web page, so as to be clear to users.

Second: Logo iMovie does not exist at all at the site, as it should be highlighted when defining

iMovie.

Third, there are linguistic mistakes must be addressed. so must restore some sections that contain linguistic mistakes

And reformulated again and recorded, because some grammatical errors could weaken the value of work, and therefore the user does not feel confident about what is presented.

Reflection

At the end of this project, I can say that I have acquired several things have changed a lot of the concepts that you think it's true. The design process is based on firm scientific foundations, and when we apply these  scientific foundations exactly the results will be accurate as well. This thing I missed in my earlier, where we apply the theory without the knowledge of them, but follow those who came before us, so the results were always illogical, so we ignore them often. When I carry out the project individually I felt the value of work and its importance and the extent of its results accuracy. It was a design phase is the most difficult stage for me. It was the first stage depends on the procedure, where the analysis stage is the stage of all the data, either the design stage is the stage of the interpretation and translation of all outputs that were in the analysis phase and this will decide if the project is strong or weak.

Perhaps the challenges faced by many, but this is the most difficult stage for me. but I'm at the end of the project I feel very proud about what I presented. I want thank who was behind us to give all her time to increase our skills. I was very interesting to got all the knowledges from professor Eun-Ok Baek. she was always  support us to achieve our goals .
