This paper presents an automated hybrid (case-based and knowledge-based) recommendation service that support novice and expert evaluators of adaptive educational systems in third level institutions. In addition the results of user-centred evaluations conducted are presented. During these evaluations both novice and expert evaluators were provided with an online prototype of the recommendation service. The evaluators were then given structured usability questions to answer after interacting with the service. The aim of these evaluations was to find out if the evaluators were able to effectively identify appropriate evaluation techniques and whether they perceived the service to be useful (learnability). In addition a review of evaluation techniques used when evaluating adaptive educational systems developed was also conducted and the results are presented.
