[Classclimate-users] Did switching to online evals affect average ratings?

[Grenert, Joseph]

Class Climate users,
Regarding response rates, remember these two tips I sent previously, which have been proven to help:


1.    When you set up the email text template that goes out to your survey recipients, insert prominently someplace the sentence: "This survey can be taken on a mobile device (smart phone, iPad, tablet, etc)."

2.    Let faculty know just before the surveys go out so they can remind students to takeit.

3.    Let faculty know that the survey can be taken on laptops, tablets and smart phones, and float the idea that faculty set aside a few minutes of class time for students to take the survey on their mobile device.

Dear Megan,

When we used paper forms response was way higher because I would go into the classrooms and have the students fill out the forms right then and there.  We've noticed a drop since going to the electronic system because students do it on their own.  One of our faculty members noticed the drop and asked me to go to her class and have the students fill out the survey right then and there and we got much better result in that situation.

Hope this helps.

Good Afternoon Class Climate Users,

I recently received a few inquiries from prospective Class Climate users regarding how the switch from paper evaluations to online evaluations has affected instructors' overall results.  Some instructors are concerned that their ratings will be negatively impacted by the change.  OIT hasn't collected this information officially, so we wanted to put the question to the current online users to see what your experiences have been.  Has anyone noticed a change?  Was it a negative difference, or a positive difference?  Has the effect repeated each term, or reversed, or has it evened out with the continued use of the online procedure?

Thanks for sharing your observations,

Megan
