Multiple evaluations should be popular by now they show how a student compares in the course, it lets you evaluate how well they,
progress or if they do not perform like others but the courses I teach there is multiple skills in the program you may have one already, greatpets tone not it up to be a skill.
Multiple types of assignments and evalautions are necessary for online courses to reach all types of learners.
It important to evalute an online course. In evaluating the course differnt methonds shoud be used; peer review, student evaluations and examining quantitive and qualitative data. It is also to remember when evaluating the course to keep in mind the student is also a consumer of the course. Keeping that in mind will help with satisfying the stakeholders, students, institution and the teaching/professional community when closing the loop.
In order to assure a quality learning experience for students it is important to have multiple evaluations of the course. Stakeholders, educational colleagues as well as student evaluations are all important to consider when revising a course. A course needs to be evaluated each time to ensure the learning experience is relevant and meets industry standards. It also needs to be evaluated to ensure students are engaging in a course that is relevant to their learning style.
One should consider formative as well as summative feedback from students and the community, to include but not limited to, deployment, methodology, pedagogy & chunking style.
There are numerous ways to assess, go for it and use several. Use qualitative and quantitative data to revise the module and teaching.
As a teacher/online trainer, I must understand that review and reflection a very important part of course evaluation. This is what we know as closing the loop. It is very crucial to do this part of the on line course because this allows me to improve my teaching experience in the following aspects:
- Improve student learning experiences (teaching and authoring processes)
- Improve curriculum (authoring and assessment processes)
- Focus professional development (authoring, teaching, and assessment processes)
- Impact quality assurance and benchmarking (assessment process)
- Impact personnel decisions ( authoring, teaching, and assessment processes)
Multiple types of evaluations and sources of data are needed in order to make course revisions that will result in improved student engagement and learning.
It is important to review and evaluate the course using multiple sources of data e.g. course grades, syllabus scan, concept maps, student evaluations, peer observation/review of course materials.
I like the different methods of evaluation that were shown.
Having someone else review the course and material is a great idea to ensure that the students will get the most out of the course. Also by reviewing the syllabus frequently to make sure the material being taught is in the syllabus. This is a way to make sure that the course will provide the students with what they are expected to learn. Stakeholders play a huge role in closing the loop.
Definite need to evaluate the course for revisions, which in just about all cases there will be revisions. Use multiple valid sources and data and not just what you the instructor feels needs to be improved or revised. It's about all stakeholders. Get their input.
There are so many ways to evaluate students and the course! I use some of them, but perhaps not enough of them. I like the one-minute question and the "three clear points, three muddy points" paper. I will implement them into future online courses. I have done peer observation in face-to-face classes, but hadn't conisdered it for an online class. This will be interesting. I might try it.
I was reminded to review my course content and teaching based upon my students grades and performance at the end of the year to see if I can deliver content better. I know now that to review my courses I can look at more than student performance and getting a peer's objective opinion is a good idea. I do coninually add new material to assignments to provide explaination and example. I am going to make more video content to help flip the classroom and aid students who need to review material at home or after an absense.
Something I am going to do differenly in my courses, because of this module, is add a test at the beginning to gauge the students' knowledge and to compare it with their assessment at the end. Also, I will use other forms of evaluation rather than just student evaluations.
In order to truly evaluate the effectiveness of the course taught depends on feedback from multiple evaluations.
Use multiple tools to provide you with feedback that is needed to make meaningful changes that enhance your online course.
I have learned that it is important to use multiple and appropriate data sources when performing course revision. I will invlove my peers and other stakeholders in evaluating my courses.
This course has provided a meaning to enhancement to combined the reversion.
I have students do course evaluations but would like to get more feedback and evaluations from other sources.
