Teachers use the materials in their curricula in the way that they see fit.
The evaluation component of our recent project had to be altered rather dramatically during the course of the project when we discovered that the new skills we were teaching were not adequately measured by available testing vehicles. The innovation was the attempt to teach some new skills in the area of nonverbal communication. The implications for evaluation that this brings were not strongly evident at the beginning of this project in 1989. These are all worthy reasons to develop technology-based learning materials. The result is that there are no established cross-cultural nonverbal decoding or encoding tests.
