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 Phillip:
Your evaluation plan needs some more detail in a few key areas:
. You wrote - "Information will be gathered through observation. Assessments will be used as well as a post-instruction interview." You need to be more specific on what type of information you will collect through observations. Also, do you want to consider any other methods (e.g., surveys, focus groups, etc.). What type of information will you be trying to collect? About which aspects of the instruction?
Please make these updates and resubmit it to me.

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).

I will have the experts review the lesson on three levels:
<p>
1. content; 2. technical accuracy; 3. quality of instruction.

Your final response:
Will have the 2 experts review the lesson on three levels:
1. content
2. technical accuracy
3. quality of instruction
The content review will help ensure that no mistakes were made in the information provided to the learners.
The technical accuracy review will enable us to know if we have errors in representations of each symbol and there purpose.
The quality of instruction review will let us know if the instruction is as effective and efficient as possible.

Your final response:
The designer will sit with each learner as they go through the instruction, marking areas in the instruction where it appears to be confusing, answering questions the learners pose as they complete the instruction. An interview will be conducted after each learner has gone through the instruction to answer any questions and to clarify any information.
