Office of Educational Assessment's Protocol for Online Surveys
Due to the high volume of surveys that the Office of
Educational Assessment is
processing for the Medical, Dental, and Graduate Schools, we
ask that the following steps and timeline be adhered to in
order to place a survey online. Toward the end of the
academic semesters, many are seeking our services to place
surveys online. The surveys will be prioritized in terms of
receipt of the necessary information. Please monitor your
future needs for online surveys to allow sufficient time
for the office to process your requests and maintain contact with
Diane Blahun at
blahun@nso1.uchc.edu to assure the ongoing collection of data. Feel
free to contact Diane to review any of the steps that
follow:
The office will place each survey online (SOL) on the last
day of the course/section unless otherwise directed.
One Month Prior to SOL:
Diane Blahun will forward a survey in MS Word format (if it
exists from the prior year) to the Course Director for
editing. If a prior survey does not exist, then it is the
responsibility of the Course Director to contact the Office
of Educational Assessment if an
online survey is needed. The Course Director is then
responsible for forwarding this survey to the appropriate
faculty for any needed editing.
Two Weeks Prior to SOL:
The final edited survey needs to be returned to the Office
of Educational Assessment. The
Course Director needs to prompt the faculty to forward the
edited surveys to the office if that hasn't already occurred. The
office will then be happy to make these changes to the online
version of the survey.
Anytime Prior to SOL:
Each Course Director must assure that the list of course
enrollees on Blackboard is accurate. The Office of
Educational Assessment does not have
the capability of performing this essential function. Please
add or remove students as needed from the course listing in
Blackboard.
Date Survey Is Placed Online:
Each Course Director (with the exception of the the "Basic
Medical Science" courses) needs to send an email to the
appropriate students notifying them that they have a course
survey to complete. Set a deadline to complete it, and
describe any conditions (i.e., withholding their exam grade
pending completion of survey). Please "cc" the Office of
Educational Assessment on that
email. Surveys will be made available in Blackboard on the
last day of the course unless notified otherwise.
Between SOL and Deadline for Survey to Be Completed:
Each course must monitor via Blackboard's online grade book
how many students have completed the survey. If there is a
small window of opportunity in which the students need to
complete the survey, it is important that someone from the
course notices if the students aren't taking the survey while
there is still a captive audience. The Office of Educational
Assessment does not have the
resources to perform the important task of re-notifying or
encouraging students to complete the survey.
Following the Deadline for Survey Completion:
Once the Course Director is satisfied with the number
completing the survey, he/she needs to then notify Diane Blahun to compile the survey results.
We greatly appreciate your help with this online survey
process. Please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns on the above process. |
