Re: Evaluation Software
Date:
RESOLVED:
Purdue University Calumet shall adopt a software program (such as E-Campus) for gathering and processing data on course, teaching, and/or learning evaluation that has web authentication security and is accessible to all tenured and tenure-track faculty through each faculty member’s PC.
E-Campus by Scantron
Points to Consider
Advantages of E-Campus
- PUC owns the system.
- Cost for lifetime license is lower than previous costs when used for two or more years (prorated over a 5 year period, cost is $8,000 per year.)
- Items are current
- Provides option of paper or web (can be used for distance education courses)
- Items can be developed locally, providing flexibility in developing items for individual departments and in arriving at norms
- Faculty can develop the survey from a variety of sources (provided the source is in the public domain.)
- Can be used for formative as well as summative evaluation
- Provides web authentication so only students in a course can access it and no student can access it more than once
- Sites can be expanded infinitely
