Reading Between the Lines of Online Course Evaluations: Predictable Actions that Improve Student Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness and Course Value

Students continue to demand and enroll in online courses, but are not always satisfied with their experiences. The purpose of this study was to determine if students’ responses to evaluations for online courses could be used to predict faculty actions that could lead to improved evaluation scores in teaching effectiveness and overall course value. Controversy continues to exist over the validity of student evaluations to measure faculty effectiveness and overall course quality. Faculty seldom utilize the collected data for the improvement of teaching. Results indicate that stimulation of learning had the most effect on perceptions of teaching effectiveness and useful and relevant assignments had the highest correlation to overall course value.

7. Bump up the Energy: Engaging Students in Online Forums

Educators know that to engage learners in the enterprise of critical thinking, learner’s need to care enough to pay attention, and feel safe enough to take intellectual risks. When interacting asynchronously in online forums, it can become even more challenging to create a space that encourages reflective, integrative, and higher order thinking. In this paper, we present four strategies we found effective to connect university horticulture students to the course content and to each other in online forums. By building relationships to foster a social presence, making certain the topics for discussion are temporal and connected to students lives, have meaning both in content and course value, and by providing students some choice about what conservations they engage in, instructors can support students to create meaningful dialogical conversations that surpass the shallow fact finding exchanges that online learner’s habitually engage in.
