An effective assessment of faculty performance requires a combination of quantitative and qualitative metrics.
Having a plan with multiple components should be followed to make sure you are addressing the different part of online instruction.
Comment on Edgardo Eugenio Enamorado's post:
El enfoque estandarizado no se ha considerado eficaz en la investigación de la última década.
Muchas actividades claves, datos cualitativos que en la virtualidad son muy importantes para lograr empatía con los estudiantes, muchos datos cuantitativos y sobre todo el seguimiento a cada actividad muy importante
focus on multiple areas of assessment.
Using both quantitative and qualitative findings to evaluate the effectiveness of instructors in an online course
This module highlighted the critical role of onboarding in setting faculty up for success, particularly in online teaching environments. One key takeaway is that faculty performance is directly influenced by the quality and structure of their onboarding experience. When faculty receive clear expectations, sufficient training, and ongoing support, they are more likely to engage students effectively and contribute to a positive learning environment.
Son importantes los datos cuantitativos y cualitativos para mejorar el desempeño de los instructores en línea.
Managing faculty members based on current behavior rather than the trend in their behavior is something I need to work on.
Quantitative and qualitative indicators that focus on negative outcomes are often the easiest about which to collect data.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative measures are necessary for faculty performance.
A well-rounded performance consideration process typically involves multiple areas of assessment.
Ensuring the availability of technology applications and appropriate utilization as well as availability of instructional materials will support positive outcomes during faculty performance evaluations.
I am quite interested in being able to go back once classes start to really put some of this into action and see how this social constructivist approach works; it gets my wheels turning about faculty retention to because the high quality, consistent and timely feedback from a positive perspective, with clear expectations up front is definitely something.
there has to be interaction in the virtual classroom and tools to help the instructor in the evaluation process as well for the students to be using day to day resources
This module provided some great information about measuring and managing effective strategies for online instruction. It is easier to work with faculty to evaluate and initiate improvements when you have qualitative and quantitative data to support needed changes.
Evaluating the faculty performance within the first 30 days is essential to ensuring the development of effective faculty strategies for grading and supporting online engagement.
I will make sure to complete observations of all online instructors.
I like the idea of focusing more on quantitative data and then qualitative. Once the instructor has their activities for the course outlined, then the manager can assist them in refining the details in the activities.
