Administrative Benefits Overview
Colleges and universities today depend on faculty and course evaluations to make critical and informed decisions,
but often this data is difficult to access, and therefore underutilized. Online Course Evaluations allows colleges and universities to leverage evaluation
data to their advantage by getting the right information to the right people at the right time, so they can make better decisions faster.
Administrative Benefits
1. Dropped Course Survey
- Our patent pending Dropped Course Survey allows administrators to understand
the reasons students drop courses, be it financial, instructor related, or course related. Most schools only
survey those students that have actually completed a course. With our program, you
can gain valuable feedback on why students are dropping courses and enact measures
to reduce them.
2. Receive clear concise feedback
- We provide analysis of course evaluations based on demographic information. Unlike paper-based evaluation tools, Online Course Evaluations' system confidentially correlates demographic
information to the corresponding student evaluation. Our solution at Online Course Evaluations is to have a school provide the demographic data regarding
the student (n.b: We NEVER collect the names of the students under any circumstances). We then integrate that data into the evaluation results.
This reduces the number of questions and generates accurate information.
- We give you the tools to help you design better questionnaires. Included in your tools is a cumulative analysis of your data.
This will help you hone your question sets and remove redundant questions.
3. Simplified Accreditation Process
- Online Course Evaluations has been designed to provide intuitive layout of over 200 standard online reports that meet day-to-day maintenance,
tenure reporting and accreditation needs that can be presented as reports, visual graphs, or as report overviews. Course evaluation data can, in addition, be directly
exported to Microsoft Excel and Word for your own analysis. This helps colleges and universities tailor student evaluation information
to comply with accreditation.
- Establish faculty benchmarks -- Our level of analysis allows the institution to establish faculty benchmarks for effective course design.
4. Get qualitative and quantitative information in a straightforward manner.
5. We provide a Response Rate Guarantee [90%, Gold (Standard), Silver]
6. Tracks Improvements over Time
- Longitudinal surveys provide a comparison of several results over time, from the individual faculty level to institution-wide level that is inclusive of faculty, departments, and school.
- Demonstrates institutions commitment to self-improvement.
7. Saves time and Resources
- You can create a different evaluation based on each department.
- Removes the manual processes of printing, collecting, and analyzing your paper evaluations.
- Better interpretation of written comments. Our course and faculty evaluations put student's written comments in context of the student’s disposition.
