Online Teaching Evaluation Resources
The Senate Committee on Teaching and
Learning's
Guide
to Teaching Assessment and Evaluation defines quality teaching
as "that activity which brings about the most productive and
beneficial learning experience for students and promotes their
development as learners". The Committee encourages all
instructors to embark upon a reflective practice in their teaching, for
formative purposes and for professional development.
In order to assist you in this
undertaking, SCOTL has recently revised its
Guide
to Teaching Assessment and Evaluation and we recommend this as a
starting-point. In addition, the following Web-based resources
have been identified as useful sites on which to find sample forms
and/or questionnaires, and reviews of the literature.
- The Office of Educational Assessment
at the University of Washington's "Instructional
Assessment System" has been adopted by a number of
institutions. This site contains a series of evaluation forms,
designed for different kinds of learning environments. The
site also has information on the theory and development of the
"IAS"
- The University of California, San
Diego's
CTD Evaluation
Resources site includes sample questionnaires and an
"evaluation construction set" that allows you to create
your own evaluation form online.
- Two Kansas State University
Idea
Papers (#32 and #22) offer good reviews of the literature, as
well as concrete ideas for developing evaluation forms.
- Michigan Virtual University's peer
reviewed electronic journal,
Technology
Source, deals with the issues of technology in university
education. Some of the articles related to assessment and
evaluation are:
Electronic
Course Evaluation Is Not Necessarily the Solution, by Michael Theall
Plugging in to Course Evaluation, by Keith Hmieleski and Matthew V.
Champagne
Classroom Assessment Techniques in Asynchronous Learning Networks by Tom
Henderson
- York University's Centre for the
Support of Teaching provides a useful Webliography
that contains a section on "Course Development, Delivery and
Evaluation which is well worth visiting.
