[Contrib: Evaluation System] Evaluation results

[Faust Gorham]

Hello,

I am coming to this group again, asking for additional information. Sean,
thanks for the data you put together below.

Is there a site that documents, the results from different schools and how
well the system has been taken up by the students?

Is there any advice for increasing the response rate?

UC Merced is looking at changing the paper based model but our assistant
deans worry that the response rate will fall to a low level.

Thanks,

Faust Gorham

Web Services Manager

Subject: Follow-up to Evaluation Team meeting on 3_13_08

Sakai Evaluation Team,

This is a follow-up message to the team meeting this morning. There
were a few things that I thought would be worth reviewing since there
were some technical difficulties with audio and so forth:

1. U-M's Pilot II  results:
- Overall response rates:
- 25977 possible evaluations; 8300 submitted for 32.3%
- 7056 students; 3103 submitted for 44.0%
- A chart of the responses is here: http://tinyurl.com/yvnroh

2. A draft version of the U-M Fall 08 requirements may be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/2kv3cj
- Note that this document is still in draft form and that the U-M
team will be validating requirements over the next few weeks
- We know that we have some immediate needs WRT to merging our pilot
code back into trunk and making some decisions about architectural
issues (e.g. options for handling email notifications)

3. Leadership of the Sakai Evaluation project:
- We learned that Aaron will be significantly scaling back his time
in a couple of weeks
- We need to figure out how the other institutions can continue to
move forward while leveraging Aaron's knowledge of the tool:
- How do the other schools get code commit access if Aaron is not
going to be available?
- How do we handle ongoing architecture discussions?
- It is my understanding that Antranig is also a key resource for
the RSF work; what will his involvement be going forward?
- How do we ensure the other institutions have access to expertise
in this area?

I would like to propose that we set up a weekly conference call so
that we can ensure ongoing access to key resources while limiting the
amount of time Aaron and/or Antranig would need to commit going
forward. Does this morning's time work for everyone (Thurs 9 am EDT)?

SMD.
