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 I-Yung: Your evaluation plan needs some more detail in a few key areas: 1. When will the evaluations be performed? - You indicate the timing of each phase of evaluation based on when a particular piece of instruction is completed, but you need to think in terms of how you are revising instruction after each phase and prior to the next phase. For example, you would want to review the feedback you receive from the one-to-one evaluation, make decisions on how to best implement the information in the design, and update the design prior to the next phase if possible. 2. You wrote - "Several methods will be used to gather information. Assessments will be used as a post-instruction interview." You need to be more specific on these types of methods (e.g., observations, 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. Dr. Law

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).

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.
