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.
This statement was important, " Focus on predictive indicators..." rather than negative quantitative data. Focus on the successful predictors...
Thrilled about the course's balanced blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning, fostering a solid foundation for faculty performance. The proactive 30-day feedback and coaching, coupled with an annual development plan, show a commitment to continuous improvement. Varied evaluation practices, from 30-day assessments to quarterly and annual reviews, ensure a comprehensive approach to maintaining high instructional standards. Kudos to the program for its dedication to effective feedback and ongoing enhancement of online teaching skills!
New faculty should have weekly meetings or 1:1's with a supervisor to track progress (or opportunities) in order to get better results.
It is important to monitor instructions in both a qualitative and quantitative manner.
After reviewing the content for this section, I feel that we have a pretty good annual performance review process in place for instructors.I do think we could be doing better, however, when it comes to providing instructors with information in real time via dashboards.
This course provided me with practical tools for monitoring online instructions.
When monitoring online instruction, it is important to consider multiple approaches
It is important to implement a plan that maintains a high level of faculty performance. These can be automated.
Evaluating the effectiveness of the online faculty and student learning can be calculated by reviewing new instructors within 30 days of the class start and on a quarterly basis for continuing instructors..ollecting date that shows students have been successful can be used to improve course activities.
This course has opened my eyes to better ways of evaluating our onlne instructors. We have been using the traditonal method of measing lagging and negative outcomes. We will now look at ways to collect data on successful online courses and determine what leads to a success online teaching environment and apply it to other classes. Also measure qualitative information to provide feedback to instructors.
This module offered a lot of insight into how to track instructor performance in delivering quality education in an online classroom. My biggest takeaway is to focus on the behaviors of effective instructors who create positive change and growth in their classrooms, rather than focusing on what is negatively impacting student performance. It was also interesting to learn that the "best practices" used in online classrooms over a decade were not found to be highly effective. I believe this is becuase too much focus was placed on quantiative alaysis of instructors and not enough focus on the qualitative analysis. Every industry has to start somewhere and I feel with new technologies coming around, and the rapid changes we've seen since 2020, tracking instructor performance and gauging effective behaviors in online environments will continue to grow and expand positively.
I learned about the qualitative and quantitative indicators, I think is very useful and should be used in an online stting if not being used already.
Monitoring online instruction is very important to achieve high level performance from instructors. Focusing on positive behaviors and providing on time feedback is important to make any corrective actions effectively.
