New Course Evaluation System Rolls Out

In an effort to centralize and simplify course evaluations, Simmons Technology has partnered with the Provost’s office and the five schools to select and implement a new system.

The new system is rolling out across campus in stages, and brings with it a platform that integrates with Moodle and provides an easy-to-use interface for both students and faculty. Students will have access to course evaluations via Moodle on their computers, tablets, and smartphones. Faculty can work with online reports and analytics to better understand and interpret the feedback they receive from students in their courses.

The School of Social Work and the School of Library and Information Science have adopted the new platform during the Fall 2014 semester. Each school manages its own evaluations, making this initiative a true partnership between Technology and representatives from the schools.

Technology will be working with the School of Management and the School of Nursing and Health Sciences to implement the new course evaluation system beginning in the spring.
