Assessing Innovation in Teaching: An Example Marian Petre Centre for Informatics Education Research Faculty of Mathematics and Computing Open University, UK m.petre@open.ae.uk hat's the cost of innovation? What difference does it make - if any? For example, presentation of computer science eourses on the Internet is a boom business, promising the potential to attract students from around the globe. But what is the impact of Internet presentation on teaching? Is it possible to replace the individual feedback afforded in face-to-face teaching with electronic alternatives at global scale and still maintain quality? How can we assess the value of the changes we make in our teaching? This paper begins to describe the reasoning behind a large-scale evaluation project associated with a change to teaching practice (a move from paper-based distance teaching to Internet presentation). It describes the setting and aims of the project, in introduction to a longer article in the next issue of SIGCSE Bulletin, which will describe the process of the evaluation, how it was executed, and how it was kept feasible. For several years, a team of educators in the Computing Department at the Open University (OU) in the U K has been addressing the sorts
