Feedback

As you have discovered, HTML is a dynamic (constantly changing) computer programming language. It must change rapidly to keep up with the perpetually changing Internet. A course that teaches HTML must keep up with these changes. Feedback is very useful to the instructors as they constantly modify, update and upgrade this course.

At this time in the semester, I would like to give you the opportunity to provide some feedback about the facilities used in this course. In a traditional lecture course, we would be asking about the physical classroom setting. Obviously, a big part of the overall learning environment involves the classroom facilities. Similarly, in an on-line course, the facilities are important.

In this evaluation, we will ask you to provide feedback about the tools used in this course, such as CourseCompass, Geocities and other tools. Since this is an assignment, you will be required to provide your name as you send an email with the answers to the questions below. (Next week, you will be asked to evaluate the instructor. This latter evaluation will be anonymous.)

Even though your feedback comments for this assignment will not be anonymous, I still value your honest opinion. If there is something that I can do to make this a better learning situation, then I would like to know about it.

Without the face-to-face meetings between students and instructor, a valuable non-verbal form of communication is missing. Without the spoken word, a valuable form of verbal communication is absent. To compensate for these losses, several strategies can be used. Sometimes, these strategies are effective - sometimes they lack effectiveness. I need feedback to improve the next offering of this course. So, with that in mind, please answer the questions that follow. 

Please  use COPY AND PASTE to put the questions into your email and after answering the questions send to tcanada1301@yahoo.com  with FEEDBACK ASSIGNMENT  as the subject.

Again, your grade on this assignment will depend upon the quality of your answers.


FEEDBACK ASSIGNMENT
  1. Which computer/computers did you use to complete these assignments? (possible answers might include home, work, WTC lab)
  2. For questions 2 through 5, please give the availability (in percentage) of the facility, when you used it the most (morning, afternoon, evening) and how useful you consider this tool to be.
  3. What was the availability, time used and usefulness of GEOCITIES (the site where you created your web page)?
  4. What was the availability, time used and usefulness of CourseCompass (the site where the course material was accessed)?
  5. Please identify the lesson (by name and week it was assigned) that gave you the most difficulty. Suggest ways to improve this module.
  6. Please make other suggestions that would help to improve this course.
  7. Throughout the course, the Discussion board was used to present information and answer questions. Was this method of providing information useful? Do you have a suggestion on what would make it more useful?
  8. What was the average response time for your questions sent by email? Overall, was this acceptable or unacceptable?
  9. Was this course appropriate for your needs? 
  10. Give your opinion/preference on using CourseCompass as a testing center vs. going to a testing center on your college campus to take your test including pros/cons of both possibilities.
