Authoring Online Course

Laura, You are starting off right. Students must understand the expectations and the course outcomes. You are also so right about keeping the content current. Nice job. Keep up the good work.

Variations of Evaluations

Tony, "They" say if you get over 50% of the online surveys back, that's good. Have you tried extra credit or making the response to the survey a part of their participation grade? We can see who fills out the surveys, but not what they said, we we can do that. It helps. We get about 65% returned.

Using Rubrics

Camesha, A good rapport comes from good communication and clear expectations. I'm not sure what you mean by "The ONLY contact an instructo will have with a student is through grading." What about discussion boards, email, etc.?

Variations of Evaluations

Tony, Who are these quality control personnel and managers? What do they know about your content? What do they know about effective pedagogy in the online environment?

Variations of Evaluations

Tony, Not if it's anonymous. I always ask in an anonymous way and then at the end of the course, they are used to providing me with feedback and I get even more.

Tony, Classroom audits. Are those done by your peers or administrators?

John, You do get good feedback from end-of-course evaluations, but it's good to get feedback in a variety of ways. Thanks!

Diana, Right on. Students need specific information and meaningful information so that they can improve. This helps the students moving along in their journey.

Developing Meaningful Feedback

John, I agree that feedback should be provided to students in a format that can review over and over again. But, it doesn't just have to be written. I record my voice and what I'm grading w/ edits/highlights/Track Changes or whatever and the students can watch/listen to it over and over again. I use Jing. Hope this is helpful.
