This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enormous demands for online degrees in higher education have increased the pressure on universities to launch web courses and degrees quickly and, at times, without properly attending to the quality of these ventures. There is scarce research that defines which quality indicators are used to assess cyberlearning environments, how different stakeholders view the relative importance of these quality indicators in online graduate degree programs from fields like science and engineering that have a historical preference for formal program accreditation, and what practices are used in evaluating completely online graduate degree programs in higher education. This mixed methods study examined current practices in three established online degree programs in agriculture and engineering at the University of Illinois, identifying quality indicators and evaluation practices used with cyberlearning environments in these fields and comparing myriad stakeholder views regarding the value of these practices. Data collection in this study used a mixed-methods approach, including a combination of surveys (n = 107) and interviews (n = 27) with program administrators, faculty, and students, as well as a document review from the different programs. While most of the evaluation occurring in the programs is informal, analysis of the surveys, interviews, and documents collected from the programs revealed four key themes related to current evaluation practice including the use of: (a) informal feedback from the students and faculty, (b) student satisfaction surveys (i.e., ICES student feedback and department-specific and created satisfaction surveys), (c) student grades and performance information, and (d) the Committee on Extended Education and External Degrees (CEEED) process. There were a several challenges reported in using these strategies to evaluate quality, including lacking structured collection and reporting mechanisms, differing implementation levels in traditional and online courses, varying availability of data and student quality, lacking fidelity of information delivery and access, and changing survey forms. Also evident from study was that the implementation of these evaluation practices is occurring at varying levels which were categorized on a four-stage continuum of evaluation. The programs in this study are at or beginning to move out of the first evaluation stage of preservation, meaning that the administrators have an evaluation system that is focused on efficiency and on collecting student satisfaction ratings. In this evaluation stage, small improvements are made periodically in hopes of getting more efficiency out of the current system, but little is done to explore quality beyond student satisfaction. Thus, the evaluation is incomplete as it overlooks important issues like student learning outcomes, the teaching and learning process, faculty support, course structure, and others. A factor analysis was done to explore the dimensionality of the 72 items related to quality evaluation and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program accreditation, from the 2009 National Research Council Study on the Quality of Traditional Programs, Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) Online Benchmark Study, and ABET Criterion Three Items for STEM programs, which resulted in 12 common quality indicators to determine program quality of STEM online programs. These 12 quality indicators included (a) diversity of students and faculty, (b) professional and scholarly productivity of faculty, (c) presence, accessibility, and articulation of evaluation activities, learning outcomes, and support information, (d) student knowledge of current practice, ethics, impact, and professional conduct in STEM, (e) student production of STEM capstone research projects, (f) customer service provided by the program, (g) student training in conducting scholarly research and access to university resources, (h) interaction between students with each other and the faculty, (i) comparable achievement profiles between entering online and traditional students, (j) faculty preparation to transition from traditional to online environments, (k) student persistence to degree completion, and (l) student success beyond graduation. Differences between stakeholders revealed that online students placed a statistically significant higher emphasis than faculty on the presence, accessibility, and articulation of evaluation activities, learning outcomes, and support information. Interviews revealed that the online students considered themselves to be 0́−consumers0́+ of the degree program, thereby increasing the need for identification of clearly defined 0́−outcomes0́+ or 0́−competencies0́+ that online students should be able to produce or demonstrate as a result of participation in the courses and degree program overall. The study concludes with implications on how online programs and evaluators can use the quality indicators to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current evaluation system and to define and develop their own evaluation procedures for richer understanding within and between institutions and departments.

Download or read book Effective Grading written by Barbara E. Walvoord and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Effective Grading—the book that has become a classic in the field—provides a proven hands-on guide for evaluating student work and offers an in-depth examination of the link between teaching and grading. Authors Barbara E. Walvoord and Virginia Johnson Anderson explain that grades are not isolated artifacts but part of a process that, when integrated with course objectives, provides rich information about student learning, as well as being a tool for learning itself. The authors show how the grading process can be used for broader assessment objectives, such as curriculum and institutional assessment. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes a wealth of new material including: Expanded integration of the use of technology and online teaching A sample syllabus with goals, outcomes, and criteria for student work New developments in assessment for grant-funded projects Additional information on grading group work, portfolios, and service-learning experiences New strategies for aligning tests and assignments with learning goals Current thought on assessment in departments and general education, using classroom work for program assessments, and using assessment data systematically to "close the loop" Material on using the best of classroom assessment to foster institutional assessment New case examples from colleges and universities, including community colleges "When the first edition of Effective Grading came out, it quickly became the go-to book on evaluating student learning. This second edition, especially with its extension into evaluating the learning goals of departments and general education programs, will make it even more valuable for everyone working to improve teaching and learning in higher education." —L. Dee Fink, author, Creating Significant Learning Experiences "Informed by encounters with hundreds of faculty in their workshops, these two accomplished teachers, assessors, and faculty developers have created another essential text. Current faculty, as well as graduate students who aspire to teach in college, will carry this edition in a briefcase for quick reference to scores of examples of classroom teaching and assessment techniques and ways to use students' classroom work in demonstrating departmental and institutional effectiveness." —Trudy W. Banta, author, Designing Effective Assessment
