The first topic taught me a lot about the evaluation and revision processes. It is particularly novel to me that reviewing and learning technology can serve as the foundation for a professional development plan for teachers and personnel. Second, the importance of teamwork is emphasized by benchmarking and sharing best practices. Finally, assessment and evaluation are processes that are often viewed as daunting and challenging, but they foster growth and improvement. The previous chapter on Creating Multiple Evaluations introduced me to new and various online methods for assessing student progress: one-minute inquiry, three clear points, three muddy points paper.
What I have learned from this lesson is that always make reflection and review a part of the course evaluation as an educator and facilitator. And, to get the input you need to make ongoing adjustments that improve your online course and complete the loop, you will need a variety of tools from your diverse stakeholders.
I learned that effective evaluation of a course is the only provides a way to measure success against established learning goals/benchmarks.
Multiple evaluations are important tool to improve the knowledge in the students, and feedback specific and meaningful.
As an instructor, you must consider multiple sources for evaluating and improving your courses to truly accomplish creating meaningful courses.
The importance of using multiple sources and methods for evaluation.
I will try and find ways to incorporate more evaluations for my students. It is essential to try and find different evaluations because there are different ways that people learn and if we do not include the ways that people learn we may miss evaluating good learning for people.
Consisten evaluation helps refine the course content.
Compiling test or summative scores alone isn't the best way to evaluate course outcomes.
Students benefit from peer reviews. It allows them to really think critically of their work
Evaluations take many different forms and from students, other instructors combined with other modalities.
Input from multiple stakeholders is essential to evaluating and revising the course.
Multiple sources of evaluations are required to fully determine whether or not the course is effective for the learners. Self-assessment is very important, as well as thorough review of all course materials, content, objectives. It can be useful to provide the students with an opportunity to participate in a discussion about some ideas they had throughout the course.
Review and feedback about the course and instruction are critical to enhance and improve future learning opportunities for students.
I really did not realize how many different types of evaluation methods are out there. At times it seems like too much and would be overwhelming. Best to pick one or two I think.
Having multiple evaluations is important and rewarding
Keep in mind the students are also consumers. When developing an online learning environment, I will be sure to have quality modules. multiple evaluation techniques, multiple ways to communicate, etc.
Multiple evaluations should be used when developing course evaluations and objections to ensure student learning and success.
I learned that multiple ways of evaluating students is needed.
Constantly updating grades as often as you can is important to the students' progress, because they'll know where they stand at all times in the course.
