It is important to use multiple forms of evaluations to close the loop.
I understand that multiple assessment styles are necessary for effective evaluations
It was a good reminder that there are different types of understanding and application. Remembering is different from creating.
Triangulate the data, collect input from different data sources and methods - then compile the data and make the appropriate changes to improve the course. The end result is one of continual improvement.
I learned that it stakes quantitative and qualitative evaluations from students, the institutions, peers and industry experts to properly review your course and make meaningful revisions.
Courses should be evaluated and improved continually. I love the idea of a peer review for my courses; maybe an instructor or supervisor could take the course with students to determine improvements.
Different sources of evaluation are the best approach. Multiple feedback is always better that counting in a limited number of resources.
I need to use multiple evaluations and inputs from stakeholders to improve my online course.
It is a great idea to have a peer review of my courses.
Assessment is pivotal in quality assurance, verifying the course's alignment with program goals and the school's mission. Benchmarking reviews ensure the content stays relevant to the dynamic educational or industrial landscape, fostering continuous improvement. Regular evaluations uphold the curriculum's consistency and effectiveness, harmonizing with both immediate goals and the broader institutional mission.

Course Revision and Improvement can be best achieved by "Closing the Loop" used to assess and compare evaluate through multiple sources. Integrate Quantitative Data gives the What and Qualitative Data gives the Why. Course Revision and Improvement is constant and ongoing.
Embracing a variety of perspectives is essential for gaining a comprehensive understanding of a course's effectiveness from both internal and external vantage points. While as instructors, we possess a clear intention behind the content and structure of our courses, it is imperative to recognize that the message conveyed may not always align with our intentions.
Using multiple sources is best practice when it comes to the evaluation of your work and student performance.
Revisions are needed to ensure the course goes with the current times. This will allow students to adapt to the material easier.
We use portfolios in our capstone courses and I've always thought of them as potential tools to help the students build resources/ samples of their work that were industry specific to their major, but I never really thought about the fact portfolios also evaluate what the students think is important to include.
I would like to incorporate additional feedback or evaluations from the various stakeholders. Our program asks for faculty (peer) and student feedback continuously. I would appreciate the chance to have dialogue with the accreditation team. Currently, we receive feedback from our administrators after an accreditation visit.
It's important to use multiple sources of course evaluations to make revisions. Using only student evaluations will not be effective in reassessing course material.
Course revision and improvement in an online graduate-level course, following the student-centered approach, involves a continuous feedback loop where student input is actively sought and valued. By regularly gathering input from graduate students through surveys, evaluations, and open communication channels, instructors can identify areas for enhancement and adapt the course content and structure to meet their needs better. This iterative process ensures that the course remains relevant, engaging, and aligned with the evolving goals and expectations of graduate learners, resulting in a more meaningful and dynamic educational experience.
Closing the LOOP makes a lot of sense in terms of the review and reflection which involves a lot of information.
Course Revision is an important of the process and various evaluations should be used to assess the course needs.
