Student Assessment of Instruction for Online Courses

 

Online Student Assessment of Instruction http://www.outreach.usf.edu/catalog/images/mouse1.bmp
The Office of Assessment, Decision Support is responsible for reporting assessment of instruction results, whether submitted as paper copies or online. The assessments themselves are administered by the colleges and campuses. Representatives in each college and on each campus (listed below) receive the results. If you have questions about the process or for help, please contact your department representative (listed below).

Currently, only reported web-based classes (75% or more of instruction is online) participate in the on-line assessment process.

USF Online Student Assessment of Instruction Process:

 

Alert your students to the online assessment opportunity

 

Let your students know that they will be able to evaluate your course during the last three weeks of the semester through OASIS.  Call your department representative if the site is not up or you have problems accessing the site.  If your class does not show a W in OASIS (indicating a web-based class), your students will not have access to the site.

Enrolling your course in the online assessment process

 

Each department should report online classes for coding in Banner at the same time space requests are made at the beginning of each semester (refer to the registrar’s scheduling timeline). Department staff should contact Marie Boyette at mboyette@admin.usf.edu or 813-974-0405 with the course reference number, name, course prefix, number and section number. This coding enables the course to be included in the online evaluation process.  Currently, only reported web-based classes (75% or more of instruction is online) participate in the on-line evaluation process.
