It describes the evaluation framework used at Regent's University London to analyze stats on Rosetta Stone's effectiveness based on student feedback. Both positive factors like support for visual learners and instant feedback, and limitations like difficulties integrating into classroom teaching and issues of repetition and skill level were identified.
