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 Jin:
I enjoyed reading your formative evaluation plan. You put a lot of thought into it. It 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 suggestion is to provide more information about what type of issues you are looking for in each of the evaluations, especially the small group format.

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).

Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
1.Following the introduction of the reminder by the instructor, SWBAT describe the definition of reminder and the benefits of using it to remember events.
2. Following an initial lecture and live performance by instructor, SWBAT: (1) identify whether or nor the reminder has been set, (2) how the reminder works, (3) what is the procedure of setting up a reminder.
3. Following individual activity, SWBAT demonstrate how to set a new reminder for event in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
4. Following individual activity, SWBAT demonstrate how to change the default settings of reminder.

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:
The expert evaluation will take place at the beginning of formative evaluation. It will last 2 weeks so that we have adequate time to review the comments from SME and make some notes.

| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
Four new employees will be selected. Evaluation content focuses on:
1. Clarity of the instruction: is the content clear to individual?
2. The attitude and motivation of learner: is individual interested in the knowledge and skills he/she will learn? How easy/difficult the information are to learn? Is there any prerequisite skills need to master for this training?

Your final response:
One-to-one learner evaluation will take place after expert evaluation and errors have been modified. It will last 3 weeks for learners to complete the instruction.

Your final response:
First, the learners selected should be typical of the target population. The evaluation will be conducted through questionnaire and usability test.
Questionnaire: will be distributed to collect information on instructional materials and instructional activities.
Usability: Individual learner will be asked to complete the instruction. At he begining, a pre-test will be taken about entry behavior. Then, designers will observe the whole process and talk to the learner to help them think aloud When the learner is studying the materials. Meantime, this learning process will be recorded for further analysis. Finally, there will be follow-up interview about learning experience of learners.

| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
There will be 8 learners with different background participating in this small-group evaluation.
They will 1) identify the effectiveness of the instruction, including the changes made based on previous evaluation; 2) identify the potential problems existed in this instructional materials; 3) identify the adequacy of illustration or guide to enable learners learn without assistance from instructor.

Your final response:
Select learners who could represent the target population. Learners will be asked to complete all assigned work including pretest, instruction, posttest. Comparing pretest with posttest, we can obtain information on to what extent learners mastered the required skills. A questionnaire or interview with designer or instructor will be conducted to collect information on learning experience and suggestions.
