I appreciated learning about the differences between summative and formative evaluation. There is a time and place for each, and knowing which to choose is a skill. Structuring the evaluation is also important, including the use of tangible, quantifiable measures. The section on "Logic Models" was especially helpful for me. The way the Logic Models broke down the process into easily defined, well-structured parts helped me to clarify my goals and develop a sound evaluation.
I was most engaged during the synchronous session and during our one-on-one phone call. While taking these online courses, I've consistently found synchronous communication to be an efficient, helpful mode of learning.
I felt most distanced during the third week, while we were completing our 're-do' of the week 2 assignment.
Overall, I enjoyed learning about developing an evaluation of my program. Building the evaluation for my e-learning initiative was great. I believe I created an evaluation that will help me to accomplish my short-term and long-term goals. I plan to add further evaluation to my course in the form of short (1-2 question) surveys completed periodically throughout the course. I think this will help to keep my students engaged with me, and it will allow me to improve the course while I am conducting it.
Thank you!
