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:
Overall, I think your team did a satisfactory job on this IDA. It appears that you understand the process of formative evaluation pretty well. However, there were a few questions/concerns that I have:
Your expert review should occur before your one-on-one evaluations.
I like your description of how you selected the three learners for one-to-one evaluation. However, you failed to mention what you would be evaluating with them.
Why did you decide to have only 3-5 learners for the small group evaluation? The book recommends a minimum of 8. Furthermore, how will you select these learners and what will they be evaluating your instruction on?
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:
1.3 Given a set of procedures, the student will be able to demonstrate the ability to create a practice page that contains text in at least two styles and at least two different graphics.
1.4 Given a set of procedures, the student will be able to demonstrate the ability to create a hypertext link to an existing internet site.

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.

Experts
|
The expert will review
the instructions and evaluate their content. The expert will review the list
of terms in the glossary and add terms if necessary. The expert will follow
the instructions to see if a web page can be produced.
|
The experts will be
brought in to look over the lessons with the design team. The time should be
mutually acceptable and occur before the small group sessions.
|
The experts will verbally
communicate any suggestions to the design team. Members of the team will take
notes and review the notes after the interview with the experts.
|
|
Learners:
one-on-one
|
3 learners will be
selected based on their responses to the needs analysis survey. One will not
have a web site, one will have a published website, but often needs help from
a friend, and the third will be a learner who is very comfortable with web
design. These learners will review the lessons in the presence of a design
team member in order to verbally communicate suggestions.
|
After the suggestions
from the experts have been incorporated, the learners will review the updated
lessons.
|
One member of the team
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. The questions will be
recorded for review with the rest of the design team.
|
|
Learners: small
group
|
3-5 learners will be
selected to attempt the lessons. These learners will only have the written
instructions and a form to provide feedback.
|
The small group will be
given their packets after the lessons have been revised. The small group will
work at their own pace at a time of their choosing.
|
The team members will
assess the quality of the web sites generated. The small group learners will
also complete a survey to share their opinions.
|
|
Learners:
field test
|
2004 TIP students will
be used to field test the lessons. Again they will only have the written
instructions.
|
The field test will
occur after the design of the instruction is complete.
|
Again the web sites will
be evaluated by the design team. The same survey used by the small group
learners will be given to the learners in the field test
