I learned the importance of evaluating a course because it will improve the student learning experience and improve the curriculum, which will insure that the course stays relevant.
I agreed that using multiple evaluations are extremely important and effective feedback. It creates tools to read student learning and the need for improvement. The concept of Maps is also a great tool to evaluate the effectiveness of learners.
Evaluation a very important part of the on line teaching aspect. I have learned that there are many tools that need to be implemented in this process.
A variety of assessments are good throughout the course. For instance, a pre-assessment will let you know what the students know. This will allow the instructor to design assignments to fit the needs of the students.
I agree with Courtland, multiple evaluations of course are very helpful
Evaluations needs to be done multiple times using different formats. It is important that they are done.
Student evaluations are not sufficient to revise the course you are teaching. You will need multiple resources.
Reply to Rebecca Pollard's post: Very true indeed.
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.
Severyal evaluations must be done for evaluations.
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.
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!
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.
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.
It is necessary to incorp multiple evaluation to truely develop a course that is providing the best and most current information to your student.
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.
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.
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.
Substantive multiple evaluation is very important to student learning online
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.
