Faculty
and Student Evaluations
Student
Assessments and Grading:
1. Class Tests and Quizzes
Throughout a course, an instructor will coordinate with facilitators
the delivery of student assessments (i.e. quizzes, exams, exercises,
activities, etc.). Facilitators will be required to implement and proctor
these assessments at the remote site. An instructor needs to clearly
define the assessment and evaluation policies and procedures for the
course. An instructor also needs to coordinate submission of exams,
make ups, etc. with his or her facilitator.
2. Attendance
In addition to assessment instruments, another factor that will impact
a student’s grade is attendance. Instructors need to communicate
with their facilitator what the policies are regarding attendance, make
ups, etc. An instructor also needs to coordinate with the facilitator,
the taking of attendance at the remote location.
Faculty Evaluations
Each IVC class will have a Faculty evaluation at the completion of the
course. Instructors need to coordinate with facilitators when and how
these evaluations will be administered. Facilitators are generally responsible
for administering IVC Course and Faculty Evaluations at the remote sites,
as well as ensuring that the evaluations are returned to the appropriate
departments.
Once the evaluations
are collected, they must be submitted to the campus manager's office
or to the appropriate site coordinator. The evaluations will be forwarded
to the Faculty and Staff Evaluation office. More information on the
evaluation process is available from http://fe.austincc.edu. Any questions
on the evaluation process can be directed via email to fseo@austincc.edu
<mailto:fseo@austincc.edu> or by telephone to (512) 223-7745.

IVC
Equipment, Delivery and Technology Evaluations
In addition to the faculty evaluations, IVC students will be asked to
evaluate specific technological elements of an IVC delivered course.
These surveys will be given periodically to students. Facilitators and
instructors will be notified when and how these surveys will be administered.
For more
information, contact Paul Johnson at 223-8083 or email
him at pjohnso3@austincc.edu .
IVC Evaluations are specific to the department of Multimedia Supportand should not be sent to the campus manager’s office. Send the
IVC evaluations via interoffice mail or drop them off at the Pinnacle
Campus, 10th Floor ATTN: Pam Ryan, Multimedia Support.
It is very
important that IVC faculty continue to evaluate and revise their IVC courses.
As with any instructional design process, evaluation of the course provides
an insight to the teaching and learning process. Instructor
Self-Evaluation
Self-evaluation is helpful to those who are new to teaching in an Interactive
Video Classroom. Faculty can observed by IRT staff or fellow department
faculty during selected presentations and receive feedback regarding
the effectiveness of course delivery.
Suggestions
for improvement can also be solicited from students and other instructors
who have experience teaching in an IVC. Instructors may also want to
videotape their presentations before actually teaching the first class
or during the semester to get immediate feedback on performance. Technical
support staff can also provide good feedback.
Meetings
between IVC instructors to discuss successes and problems encountered
in the classroom can also help in evaluating the IVC courses to see
what works, share experiences, and get new ideas.
