Topic 8.2: Course Evaluation as Collaboration

Course Evaluation as Collaboration

If you are reading this page, congratulations! You are close to completing all of the course's requirements and counting it among credits earned toward your degree. But you should also be congratulated for being an active contributor to the evolution of this course. That's right. You're not just a student who submits assignments; you are a valued participant and collaborator whose comments and responses, successes and failures help to shape future iterations of this course.

In a manner of speaking, you are one of the many writers who will affect how this course is taught at institutions nationwide and, potentially, worldwide. Because this course is "open source" it can be adopted and revised by faculty (and their students) anywhere, anytime. So, please take to heart the importance of the evaluations you are asked to perform in this module. You really do have an opportunity to improve the course as well as the experience and education of future students.

Please submit your course evaluation.

In addition to the evaluations you will perform within the course, you may also receive an email from the institution asking for you to complete a course evaluation. Your ideas matter, and your input is highly valued. Please feel free to offer your honest opinions on your experiences this term. Your responses will assist instructors and institutions in their efforts to provide the best online learning opportunities now and in future course offerings.

Best wishes for your continued success!
