Online Evaluations

Online courses may elect to use an online version of the Student Perception of Instruction Instrument evaluation. The online process works differently between the two versions of WebCT.  Here are the highlights:

WebCT CE4 (old WebCT)

• Once the evaluation period opens, students will be prompted to complete the evaluation form when they enter your WebCT course. At that point, the student may choose to complete the form or skip the form and continue into the WebCT course. They will be reminded to complete the evaluation each time they access WebCT until they complete it.
• Most W courses automatically receive an online evaluation.  However, if you individually add students to your course rather than using the autopopulate tool, CDWS cannot map the WebCT course with the course section. If you add one or two students individually but use the autopopulate tool to capture most of the students, your W course will automatically get an online evaluation..
• Other courses that may request an online evaluation form are those designated as an M, Feeds, or ITV (has the letter M, F, L, P, V or T in the section number). Please go to the Online Evaluation Request Form to request an online evaluation.
• Suggested message to students: It’s time to complete the Student Perception of Instruction for this course. Since the course is online, the evaluation form will be available online as well. The option to complete the evaluation will automatically appear during the evaluation period. Your comments on the evaluation form are collected outside of the course and CANNOT be viewed by your professor until after grades are posted. If you have difficulty accessing the form or do not get the option to complete the form, please contact http://reach.ucf.edu/support.

Webcourses@UCF (new WebCT)

• At the moment, CDWS cannot duplicate the prompt that appears in WebCT CE4. Therefore, you must remind your students to complete the evaluation and send them to a link to access the form.
• We recommend you do the following:
• Create an Announcement or send an e-mail message reminding students to complete the evaluation. Click here to download instructions to create an announcement.
• Create a link directly to the HTML page for the online evaluation. Download instructions to create a link. Click here to download instructions to create a link.
