Overall Instructor Rating: Satisfactory
Ratings explanation:
- Exemplary - A model answer in almost every way (this is given out very rarely).
- Satisfactory - Very well done; you've met the expectations of the assignment. There are some minor problems, so read my feedback well.
- Marginal Pass - You pass, but there are lots of issues to consider. Read my feedback very carefully and be sure you understand the points/issues I raise.
- Not satisfactory, redo and resubmit - The assignment was not completed appropriately. I am concerned that you do not understand the process well enough yet. To get credit for the assignment, you need to redo it, most probably on another topic. Read and consider my feedback very carefully before redoing.
Instructor's Overall Feedback:
Hi Penny:
Your formative evaluation is well designed and should provide you with the necessary data at each point to make instructional design decisions on how to improve the materials (if necessary). One concern I have is that you may not gain much by having an experienced learner take the instruction during the small group evaluation. You may gain more insight from having multiple novice learners in your group. The expert reviews, including experienced trainers/teachers, gain you the most in the expert review session.

The objective of this activity is to plan for the formative evaluation of your instruction. As stated by Dick, Carey, and Carey (2001): "Formative evaluation is the process designers use to obtain data that can be used to revise their instruction to make it more efficient and effective. The emphasis in formative evlauation is on the collection and analysis of data and the revision of the instruction" (p. 284-285).
Using the lesson you have described in the IDA on lesson design, complete the Formative Evaluation Planning Worksheet. Using the table below, describe:
- Who will do the ongoing evaluation;
- What is being evaluated;
- When the evaluation should occur; and
- How the evaluation will be conducted (i.e. tools you will use)
Be sure to refer to Dick, Carey, and Carey Chapter 10 for specific information that can be gathered from experts (e.g. subject-matter, learning, and learner) and learners in different formative evaluation situations (e.g. one-to-one, small-group, and field trials).
Formative Evaluation Planning Worksheet
Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
LWBAT state the miles traveled on official UGA business, while making the distinction between buisness and personal miles and LWBAT determine the proper mileage reimbursement rate which applies to their travel.

HTML formatting reminder: You can embed HTML tags directly in your responses. This will be help your buddies and the instructor view your information in a more readable fashion. For example, if you want a paragraph break somewhere, just enter <p>:
I will have the experts review the lesson on three levels:
<p>
1. content; 2. technical accuracy; 3. quality of instruction.
<p>
The content review will help ensure that no mistakes were made in the information provided to the learners.

Your final response:
1. Will have the lesson reviewed by head of travel encumbrance for UGA for content to ensure that the information presented concerning policies is correct and current (in particular the differences in business personal mileage, the current mileage reimbursement rate and the appropriate times to use the different rates.
2. The learning outcome will be reviewed by the head of travel encumbrance for UGA to ensure that the final learning of the lesson will be sufficient to complete the travel expense form in the appropriate manner.
3. The quality of instruction will be reviewed by a SME in the field to ensure the instruction is designed to produce an effective outcome and in an efficient manner in both the live instructor and online interactive modules.

Your final response:
The review on the content and learning outcome by the head of travel encumbrances will take place when the initial lesson design is being formed and after completion of the initial design. The quality of instruction will be reviewed after the content and learning outcome expert has agreed that all necessary information is included in the lesson. The experts, with allowances made for time conflicts and schedules, will return their responses after one week for revisions. Both expert reviews will take place prior to any attempts by learners.

Your final response:
The review will be conducted with the head of travel encumbrance through interview and checklist of all policies necessary for mileage reimbursement. The quality of instruction SME review be conducted by an interview after the SME has had the opportunity ot independently view the lesson and record notes concerning revisions and comments.

| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
For both the live instructor module and interactive online module, 3 sample learners with varying degrees of experience in travel mileage calculations will be selected to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson’s instruction, the ease of use, and the level of engagement. The experience level will be those that have never used the form, those that infrequently use the form and those that use the form with great frequency.

Your final response:
The designer will be present as each learner participates in the instruction both live and online line. The designer will observe each learner and note areas in which the learner seems confused or frustrated. The designer will also note the level in which the learner appears to be engaged (do they seem bored). The designer will also note the ease in which the learner completes the lesson. Additionally, the designer will be able to answer questions the learner might have. Upon completion of the lesson, the designer will interview the learner to discover areas of the lesson that need clarification and might need revisions. A review of the completed mileage calculations will be conducted to determine if the learner was able to meet the lesson objective.

| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
The purpose of the small group of learners will be to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson’s instruction, the ease of use, and the level of engagement. A group of 8 learners that are representative of the targeted learners (those employees that travel on official buisness for UGA )will be selected for each module. The learners selected for this will be of various degrees of experience level will be those that have never used the form, those that infrequently use the form and those that use the form with great frequency.

Your final response:
As with the one-on-one group, the designer will be present to observe the learners participate in both the live instructor and interactive online module. Interviews with the learners will also be conducted to further discover areas of the lesson that might need clarification or revisions. Finally, a review of completed mileage calculations will be conducted to discover if learners were able to meet the lesson objective.
