· The survey data also supply OEA with students' opinions on how well they are evaluated by a course. The Course Directors use the data to enhance the courses' current evaluation methods. · The OEA helps evaluate courses in the Medical School. This is promoted through the Course and Curriculum Evaluation Committee's (CCEC) intensive evaluation of each medical school course every three years. · Collecting faculty evaluations of medical students in their 3rd year clinical rotations through on-line surveys is a relatively new function of the OEA. In April 2004, this office began administering a new on-line, off-site server-based system called MyEvaluations.com. For the 2003-2004 academic year, the Student Continuity Practice evaluations of students by their community-based preceptors was executed using this new on-line system. In 2004-2005, faculty began using this system to evaluate third year medical students in their clinical rotations. With this system, a variety of reports can be generated on-line so as to view completed student evaluation reports as well as providing other useful data for the MAX and Inpatient leadership. This on-line system has proved invaluable in providing comprehensive and easily available information to assist in formulating the medical students' Dean's letters. Our ChargeThe charge of the OEA is to be a service center to collect data involving courses, faculty, and the curriculum as a whole. The Course Directors are provided with data and analysis to make necessary decisions about the curriculum. In April 2004 the OEA began serving as a clearinghouse function for evaluations of students on their clinical rotations. The On-Line SurveysThrough the use of Perseus Professional Survey Software interfacing with the UConn Health Center's Blackboard system, the OEA is able to successfully collect large amounts of data from all three schools. The survey software allows for the creation of reports summarizing the data in various formats. The OEA began the above on-line survey process in September 2001. For the 2005-2006 academic year, over 250 reports were distributed to the leadership within the Medical, Dental, and Graduate Schools . The process continues to expand and evolve throughout all three Schools. Contact InformationDiane Blahun, B.S.
