Formative Evaluation Checklist

If you plan to use Blackboard in your Online Learning course, you'll note that last step in the approval process is the Formative Evaluation. To let the Instructional Designer know that your course is ready for the Formative Evaluation, please use the Blackboard Support Request form and indicate in the comments box "Formative Evaluation" and the CRN of the course that should be reviewed. The Formative Evaluation consists of the completion of the Formative Evaluation Checklist after a brief review of your course site. This checklist is intended as a guide; not every item will apply to your course. It is recommended that you request the completion of the Formative Evaluation about two weeks prior to the start of your course. A signed copy of the completed Formative Evaluation checklist will be submitted to the Committee Chair and the Office of Academic Services.

Observation of Online Instruction Form

If you're assigned to evaluate an online course, the official observation form must be completed, reviewed with the evaluee, signed by both you and the evaluee, and then submitted to the appropriate Dean.
