Student Course
Evaluation Main Page
The TLT Group provides its Network members
and others with a variety of kinds of consulting services to
assist with improving the quality and effectiveness of
student course evaluation. Our approach is based on a number
of assumptions outlined on the student course evaluation
home page. Our services include:
-
Advice/feedback on strategies for making
your institution's approach to
student course evaluation more valid, efficient and
influential. For example, we can suggest how your institution can
develop a more positive relationship between student
course evaluation, scholarship of teaching and learning,
and faculty learning communities. In
addition to its internal value, this kind of systematic
approach can be valuable in working with accreditors.
-
Helping your planning group deal with
volatile issues around educational goals, program
evaluation, and personnel evaluation. For
example, if your institution requires student evaluation
of all courses, it may make sense to give faculty the
option to exclude evaluations of courses where they are
planning to experiment with new approaches.
-
Assistance with developing new survey
items and data gathering procedures that reflect
people's values and the findings of educational
research.
-
Online workshops to help your
planners learn about the state of the art in student
course evaluation, including online student course
evaluation. One important topic: training for faculty
and administrators in how to 'ask the right questions'
on such surveys.
-
Assistance in devising procedures for
a matrix approach to student course evaluation
(i.e., each section receives a survey tailored to its
needs, with questions from appropriate sources for that
course, including the instructor).
-
Flashlight Online
2.0, a web-based
survey system with some distinctive features for online
or paper evaluation of student courses. "It's smarter
than the average monkey." Rather than starting with a
blank page, authors can adapt or adopt surveys, feedback
forms, and item banks developed by others.
