Student Course Evaluations (IDEA by Anthology)
The IDEA by Anthology Campuslabs website holds all of the information you need in one place. Below is Mark's breakdown of what you need to know.
The course evaluation system includes three sections (The Instructor, Learning Objectives, and The Course), each with a set of questions. See the link here, scroll to the bottom, and you'll find a PDF of the full set of questions that students answer. The site also includes additional background on the IDEA system.
The second section, Learning Objectives, includes a set of 13 LO's that you will select as "essential," "important," or "minor." When the course evaluations open (two weeks before the end of the semester), you will want to select only 3-5 as "important" or "minor." Your selections will weight the results of the data provided by students. If you do not complete this section by the date that the evaluations close (see below), then the results will be weighted evenly across all 13 objectives, many of which will not have anything to do with your course.
The short videos below give more detail on this process. The first walks you through the user experience for faculty. The second explains the user experience for students. The third includes how to access the portal, best practices for identifying learning objectives, and how to complete your selections.
How to Select Student Learning Objectives
The Process for Faculty and Students
Two weeks before the end of a course, the instructor and their students will receive an email from Mark Pleiss (via Campuslabus). The email to the instructor will include a link to a portal where they can select learning objectives, and it will also include resources for increasing student response rates. The email to the students will include a link to complete the evaluation and a brief note about why the process is important. Access for students and faculty will also be available through Moodle.
