A set of educational evaluation criteria for online continuing professional development (CPD) courses is developed using Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning cycle theory. These criteria are used to evaluate five courses provided by online CPD websites. It was found that these online CPD courses neglect parts of the learning cycle. Suggestions for improvements in these areas are given.
