Now that you are more than halfway through the course, reflect on the content presented and discussed up to this point. What is something new that you have learned that you can apply in a work or professional setting?
I like the logic models, including the cheesy video by Michael Brand. Inputs => Activities => Outputs => Short Term Outcomes => Long Term Outcomes.
My inputs => CRM access, listing in brochure, salary.
My Activities => Developing and implementing a course on undergraduate admissions
Outputs => revenue for JHU Odyssey program
Short Term Outcomes => Knowledge for students, a new challenge for me
Long Term Outcomes => The knowledge gleaned from my class will hopefully help my students throughout the application process, teaching the class will hopefully help me build a good reputation for myself as an online teacher, opening up future opportunities, teach the class again and again, hopefully with more and more students (scalability!)
What do you think will be the most difficult part of online program administration and evaluation to implement?
For me, I think it will be gathering enough information to create reliable results. With such small class sizes to start, each person (or data point) will skew the results greatly. Out of 10 students, if 1 thinks the class was terrible, my overall ranking will decrease greatly, even if the others thought it was amazing. Over time, this will be less of an issue. I will need to do my best to ask the same questions consistently so I can gather a lot of answers to the same questions, thereby creating more reliable data.
