Can you provide more information? Does the purpose of the evaluation
influence the "what", "why" and "how" etc.? Are you recommending for
adoption within a state-wide curricular? What about those who will use the
software - what are their expectations and how will their experience colour
their use of these types of resources?
The broader contexts are explored on the innovation diffusion / adoption
models. (I did an Alta Vista search...

nc=iso88591&kl=XX&locale=xx&q=%22diffusion+of+innovation%22
and found quite a lot of "research standard" literature on the web.)
