CIC: Semester 2, Week 10: Feedback from experts

Weeks 10 and 11 give you an opportunity to get an expert evaluation of your materials. Remember that you need to evaluate your contributions for the semester 2 hand-in; feedback from expert educators’ is one way to do this. I have invited colleagues to come and help with evaluation during the classes. If you have other evaluation plans, then you do not need to do these tasks but please come to help your classmates with their evaluations on Thursday!    

1. If you want your materials to be evaluated during the class session on 28th March and 4th April, email Judy.Robertson@ed.ac.uk as soon as possible so I can get an idea of numbers.  
2. Plan which aspect of your materials you will ask the students and experts to evaluate. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t finished yet because feedback on a prototype is actually very helpful. (It’s like user centred design or rapid prototype development). In fact, I’d recommend getting feedback on whatever you have on these dates just in case you don’t manage to find anyone to evaluate it when you do happen to have finished it (at 2am the day before the deadline :-)).The participants likely won’t have enough time to work through a long course completely, but you could select a representative sample of it for them to review. You will have around 20 minutes to show your materials during the class and get feedback.  
3. Design a set of questions which you will ask the participants, and a way to collate their responses. For example, you could ask people verbally and take notes on their answers, or use MS Forms to get their written feedback.   
4. Come to the class in week 10 or 11 and prepare to demonstrate your materials to a small group. We’ll have multiple rounds of breakout rooms so everyone who wants to evaluate can have an opportunity. Please come along to support the other students! This is time for some good Karma…
