  5. Evolution of GEAR

  6. GEAR 1.0 Does Students: • Enhanced feedback • Consistent grading • Improved learning experience Adjunct Faculty: • Focuses on providing targeted and personalized feedback • Streamlines grading process • Reduces learning curve for new adjunct faculty • Academic freedom through personalization and annotation

  7. GEAR 1.0 Template filled in

  8. GEAR 1.0 What we learned • Didn’t address multiple concepts in assignments • Didn’t provide individualized feedback for poor, middle and top students • Didn’t have needed flexibility for Chair’s • No product met all our needs 6 years ago • Not just for online feedback

  9. Getting to GEAR 2.0 • Assessed strengths and limitations of 1.0 through: • Adjunct Faculty surveys • Department meeting discussion groups • Sought support from College Leadership • Created and implemented GEAR 2.0 in-house

  11. Considerations for Implementation

  12. Getting Adjunct Faculty Buy-In • 2 early adopters • Piloted • Testimonials • 3 additional people • Encouraged first 3 semesters – then mandatory

  13. This is nice, but…what did our faculty say? “I frequently get email feedback from students about how they appreciate the positive encouragement.” “It saves hours…Without this instrument, grading would slow down considerably.” “The GEAR resource has developed into…a tremendous tool for instructors.” “Students invest lots of time on an assignment and they want serious feedback… GEAR does just that.”

  14. So where do you start? • Collaborate with senior technology administrator • Assemble project team • Develop content & resources • Pilot in limited number of courses • Gain buy-in from faculty • Evaluate & improve
