Gathering data from multiple evaluations is more effective in capturing the needed revisions for an online course. Gathering data from one source or one evaulation will not adequately provide sufficient data needed to make appropriate revisions for an online course.
Multiple evaluations are so important because different students learn in different ways. I have a student who is currently not doing well on her "test" but you give her a scenario and she passes it 100%. So you know she has the content just struggles with the actual testing portion.

I will use the rubric in more assessments and also to use the discussion board as place to put student questions about assignements. The need to make the syllabus dynamic will also be a helpful tool in establishing a well balanced student centered online course.
Feedback drives revisions. Multiple forms of evaluations lead to improved courses.
A range of evaluations is an effective way to determine the success level of both the student and the instructor. Certain evaluations can magnify areas that require improvement for a Instructor (knowledge, content delivery, etc). As well as it may point out the weak areas for a certain learner and provide ideas on means of improvement
While revising a course, multiple resources should be utilized.
You need to look at multiple evaluation sources to build the best view of the class and what changes need to be made.

Students learning styles are different, therefore, your design, student assessment should reflect those needs. Having a reflection and course evaluation can provide feedback, that you have met all student needs.
Qualitative and Quantitative data collected on the course (content, delivery, assessment, communication tools, etc) will give you a more complete picture of the effectiveness of your course in developing student understandings and assisting students to be successful in your class. Look to gain different types of data from different perspectives that are relevant to that specific need (i.e. students should offer their opinion on the effectiveness of cotent delivery as a tool for understanding, professionals in the field would be better about providing feedback on how your content objectives tie to preparation for success in their field of work, etc).
