For course revision and improvement, I learned that I would need multiple evaluations and multiple input from stakeholders to make changes to continuously improve the course.
Multiple evaluations of the course need to be in place throughout the online. Possible at the end of each module.
Course revision takes the inputs of many stakeholders not only students. Teachers/instructors can provide expertise in revision as closer to the industry.
Multiple evaluations allows for self-reflection and the availability to alter and make changes that can be beneficial in the long run
Evaluations to see what changes need to be made for the course to improve the outlook for new students.
Multiple evaluations and multiple sources of information will make the course richer for the students, institutions and the industry
I saw that multiple evaluations can be more useful than one type. Revisions are also part of course evaluation and should be done consistently.
I learned that I should use multiple data to assess my course. I should use multiple, appropriate sources of data and multiple types of evaluations. I will learn to value the student feedback as that should be relevant and honest feedback each class.
Looking at each course by evaluating it on multiple levels can give a clearer picture as to what can be done to improve the overall structure and delivery.
Course revisions are ongoing, require many methods and sources of feedback, and should reflect as many of these as possible.
Learning what close the loop means. The 3 stakeholders that are interested in close the loop.
Without multiple viewpoints and multiple data sources you end up with a skewed perspective. Also, perhaps askign students before the course is over on feedback, might solicit some good suggestions
Its best to use a few different way to evaluate assesments.
I also found this line vaulable
Never forget that students are more than just the product in your course; they are also consumers.
Multiple sources of data are needed to be reviewed prior to final determination on any course revisions
There are many ways to approach improving, it can be as simple as asking a collage if they can proof read something. You can give ask them "what can I do to make this better?" Feed back is the key to becoming successful and improving in all aspects of life.
Structured interviews, such as the mock interviews done by our Career Services Dept., are great for student practice and feedback.
I will make some adjustments to course evaluations for both students and instructors to ensure that the data-based evidence management is receiving is more concise. This will help us validate our reasons for curriculum revisions and added learning elements to "close the loop."
I learned that multiple sources are best practices for evaluating your work and student performance.
Multiple evaluations are needed to change an online course.
Student evaluations only are not enough to assess your online course. If there is an Instructional Designer, ask for their feedback, as well as other instructors.
