The reason that I chose the standards from the QM rubric that the evaluation tool covers some of my personal learning goals of having my course be more engaging and interactive. I struggle with creative ways to bring interactivity with my course and I hope that the evaluation tool will give me some feedback into the process. I will utilize the student feedback to better my course from semester to semester.
I think that this module has helped me down the road specifically in reference to the personal learning goals listed below. I did learn more about the evaluation process and kirkpatricks model. I Think that in writing my evaluation questions, I was forced to carefully consider my course alignment in reference to the activities planned. As for Goal #8, it is a work in progress but getting a jump start on my evaluation ideas within this course has been great!
PL Goal #5: I am VERY interested in learning about
the various types of evaluation as this is an area that I have very
little knowledge of.
PL Goal #6: While I am familiar with
Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation, I need to gain a better understanding
of the model so that I can utilize it in my quest to learn more about
class and program evaluation.
PL Goal #7: I
want to take all of my learning from this course and apply it to my
course planning and preparation in order to ensure a quality alignment
in my activities with my learning objectives.
PL Goal #8: I would like to create a course evaluation that I implement at mid and end of course to inform my process:)
