Use multiple resources to evaluate your course.
It will take multiple tools, from your multiple stakeholders, to provide the feedback that you will need to make continuous changes that improve your online course and close the loop!
Closing the loop can be considered the most important instructional strategy because it allows for continued evaluation of and implemention of improvements of delivered instruction. Multiple methods for learning objective assessment and evaluation should be employed.
You obviously need multiple sources of feedback.
Multiple evaluations are needed for learning.
Having multiple evaluations will help improve the course overall, making sure to check and review the feedback also helps.
This all will help to improve our teaching techniques.
Course evaluations are very important to the improvement and longevity of the course. The evaluation must have mulipule evaluations to include stakeholders, students, as well as the institution.
Gather input from multiple sources, students, self evaluation and if possible peer review to revise course materials and delivery to improve outcomes.
It is important to include more than one way to evaluate your course sturcture and content. One should consider what feedback you are expecting to choose an effective means of collecting that information. Using the feedback to enhance, change, add to current course structure is key to the future success of the experience.
Substantive multiple evaluation is very important to student learning online
The evaluation process is very important. It helps guide qualilty and the effectiveness of the online class. Having multiple methods to evalulate provides a lot of value to the targeted stakeholders.
I learned multiple methods of evalutions are better than one. Also, different types of feedback can provide a more detailed and alternate view view of sibject.
Several reasons why I should evaluate a course are to improve student learning experiences and to improve the curriculum. Student learning experience is needed to be evaluated- to make sure all learning styles are addressed and implemented in the course work.
It is necessary to incorp multiple evaluation to truely develop a course that is providing the best and most current information to your student.
The instructor of an online course should develop multiple ways of evaluation in regards to student learning and the quantitative and qualitative content of the online course.
I think it is extremely important and beneficial to all stakeholders that we understand the use of assessments to revise or improve upon course material. In such a dynamic industry, there will always be ways to improve upon the process. With this change should come the desire to improve upon the process.
Multiple evaluations allow for a variety of honest feedback and then growth to occur. This will help with learning and insight on what went right versus what coould be changed!
Multiple ways to assess and to get information to the students is a key component to this module. By allowing different methods, you allow various ways for students to be successful.
Severyal evaluations must be done for evaluations.
Multiple evaluations are best when assessing students' knowledge and receiving feedback. I have never considered "closing the loop" in my courses as essential only "helpful" but after this I find it to be essential.
