Student feedback is critical to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the courses, programs and instruction to drive improvement institution-wide. Course evaluations enable faculty and administrators to measure the classroom experience.
Educators are faced with numerous challenges in paper-based course evaluations including substantial investment of staff time and resources, huge paper costs, creating questions, administering course evaluations in the classroom for a large number of students, and lower response rate from students.
Examinations are conducted in Online (Quiz / Survey) format and Regular format. Irrespective of the type of assessment conducted, the onscreen evaluation process will greatly improve the overall assessment process. Evaluating the answer scripts with a team of evaluators is a tedious process, which needs a lot of planning and time. Faculties of colleges and universities can now evaluate answer sheets and assign marks or grades online. Evaluators can cross-check the quality of the answer papers with an uploaded answer key.
Course management system is increasingly adopted by faculty and staff in academic systems in higher education as technology trends are growing. Cloud, Analytics and Mobile are the emerging technologies that allows serendipitous learning opportunities for students, who could be exposed to new things they might have originally come to the classroom for. Cloud and Mobile based Classroom Management System allows faculty to upload, manage, organize and track course content and resources to students and groups at specific times.
Many of education systems around the world have no frameworks for teacher evaluations. Evaluation is left to the discretion of educational institutions and boards. There are no standardized tools for testing teacher effectiveness with clear-cut teacher-appraisal policies. A fair evaluation system can help faculty thrive in the classroom and improves the chance of student success.
