  1. Concrete Steps: Form Good Evaluation Questions & Create Online Surveys Katharine Mason Jack Green Musselman

  2. The BeTA Project objectives Objective # 1 • Disseminate a “visible knowledge mapping” strategy for developing institutional consensus about “good practices in teaching and learning”

  3. Objective #2 • Engaging students in their role as evaluators • Authentication issues • Citizenship issues • Response rates

  4. Increasing Response Rates • What do you do at your institutions?

  5. Steps we have taken for + RR • From Website to “Push” e-mail • Reminders • Posters • Focus Groups • The Magic Bullet • (the thing that boosts response rates more than anything)

  6. Faculty Members • Stress Importance • Remind the students • Tell how they use it • SHOW how they use it

  7. Objective # 3 • Develop a new, web-based survey tool that makes administration of a multi-tiered evaluation process possible

  8. Objective # 4 • Give administrators tools and information to encourage the formative use of course evaluations, while still providing information that can be used for personnel decisions

  9. acknowledgement • The BeTA Project (BEtter Teaching through Assessment) is sponsored in part by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education

  10. Mapping Exercise • On a blank sheet of paper make a large circle taking about a quarter of the page • In the circle describe a powerful learning experience….

  11. Mapping-- Learner • Describe an educational experience where you were the learner and you felt that you learned a lot about something (you went away from the experience feeling that you would remember and be able to use what you learned)

  12. Add detail • Who was there? • What were the circumstances? • When was this? • Where were you (and others)? • Why was this powerful for you? -write any detail that helps to understand what was going on and why you integrated learning

  13. Mapping-- Instructor • Describe an educational experience where you were the instructor and you felt that the students/learners learned a lot about something (they went away from the experience feeling that they would remember and be able to use what they learned)
