Word-based concept maps show concept relationships. Students can demonstrate their understanding of the whole and specific concepts using concept maps.
it is best get criticisms from more than one source, so mutliple evaluations can be positive
I understand that combining different evaluation types will give you a better view of your course and help you improve it, thereby closing the loop. Also, using appropriate data is just as important as using multiple sources of data.
The part about revising the course and using the evaluations has made me think about course changes occurring based on the pattern from learner's remarks.
The vision of multiple tools and multiple stakeholders' perspectives in closing the loop
Feedback from multiple stakeholders is critical for course improvement as it provides a balanced view of course strengths and areas of opportunity.
In my field of study, I constantly stay informed of emerging technology. I bring this into the class as to add value to material.
When evaluating students we cannot simply rely on one evaluatrion, but need many.
I was struck by the term 'closing the loop.' While I believe I have practiced this skill before, I'm not sure I ever noted in such a poignant way.
Using both qualitative and quantitative analysis is best as it leads to a most comprehensive way to attain data. The use of pre and post tests are a great tool to see what students have learned.
It had not occurred to me to use something like a Concept Map or Portfolio as part of an evaluation method. I am curious to see how that would like in the courses we teach here and look forward to trying them out!
I agree that the perspectives of all three stakeholders should be considered.
evaluations help the student learning process evolve more effectively.
There are multiple evaluation methods that will be needed and required for learning.
To comprehensively assess the effectiveness of a course design, it is crucial to employ multiple evaluation methods rather than relying on a single assessment. By gathering data from various sources and perspectives, instructors can gain a more holistic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their course.
It is important to have different ways to evaluate the students
Evaluations along the way in your course keeps the student on track with their progression.
I learned that using multiple evaluations will be very beneficial.
I need more ways to evaluate the students
Focusing on only one method for evaluation is not enough to gather the whole picture for course improvement.
