The Goal: Continuous Engagement
At CSUCI our faculty are committed to providing high quality courses for all students, in all modalities. Developing quality online courses encompass affordances and challenges unique to a digital environment. Course feedback is neither a beginning nor ending, but another pathway to support and engage faculty in course design, facilitation and digital tools. Whether new or experienced, customize a pathway that supports your experience and goals.
What is Course Feedback?
Course Feedback is not:
- A Requirement
- An Evaluation
- A Report Card
- Shared
Course Feedback is:
- Supportive
- Flexible
- Faculty Driven
- Student Centered
Pick the Pathway that Fits Your Instructional Needs
We understand that faculty have differing needs, time constraints, and learning preferences. All Course Feedbacks begin with a 15 minute Pre-Feedback Conference; however, you can pick the feedback pathway that best fits your needs.
Pathway 1: Pre-Conference & Written Feedback
Pathway 1 is designed for those who only wish to receive written feedback after one pre-conference meeting. Written feedback includes the completed QLT rubric and feedback documentation. Feedback will be sent to you via email.
Pathway 2: Pre-Conference, Written Feedback, and Follow Up Consult
Pathway 2 is designed for those who would prefer written feedback and a follow-up consultation with the reviewer following the Pre-Feedback Conference and course feedback. Written feedback will include the completed QLT rubric and feedback documentation. You can choose to review your feedback and then meet for a consultation. Alternatively, you may receive your feedback during your consultation.
Pathway 3: Side-By-Side feedback and Consult
Pathway 3 is designed for those seeking to develop a specific course component or module. You will meet with a reviewer in Zoom and examine your course through the lens of two QLT Sections of your choosing. Plan to allow approximately 2 hours for this consultation. The reviewer will compose a meeting summary sent via Email within two weeks of the meeting. The summary will include:
- The QLT rubric completed during the consultation
- A summary of strengths and opportunities discussed
- Action items with resources to support steps for revision/redesign
