Abstract
In the previous chapter, we introduced language program evaluation at the meso level with a view to understand how departmental strategies and teaching initiatives that affect the integration of technology are understood by instructors and program administrators in a collegial environment. In this chapter, we discuss blended language program evaluation at the macro level. Characteristically, the macro level is made up of senior administrators and academics who often frame the integration of educational technology through the production and dissemination of documents that include institutional policies, strategy papers, and teaching initiatives. After explaining reasons for evaluation at the macro level, we describe an example argument to illustrate its use in context. We then discuss working with project stakeholders, explain working with documents and with people at this level, and conclude the chapter with a brief summary.
