Objectives
Those successfully completing the workshop will almost certainly exhibit these behavioral tendencies:
- A healthy skepticism about traditional learner surveys.
- A heightened ability to diagnose the many problems of traditional learner-survey questions.
- A clear sense of the research on traditional learner surveys.
- A clear point of view on the limitations of Likert-like and numeric scales.
- A fundamental appreciation on how well learners are able to diagnose their own learning.
- A realistic sensitivity about what learner surveys can do—and what they can’t do.
- An increased ability to avoid falling for improper vendor arguments for poorly-designed learner surveys.
- A strong belief that learner surveys should NOT be our only source of feedback.
- A profound sensitivity to how the wording of answer choices affects responding.
- A clear sense of the process required to build a new learner survey.
- A strong motivation to champion improved evaluation practices within his/her organization.
- An unwavering goal of using learner survey questions to focus on learning effectiveness, not just learner satisfaction and course reputation.
- An ability to begin the process of writing improved learner-survey questions.
- A tested competence in making beneficial decisions about learner-survey design, deployment, and improvement.
Clarity on Expectations: The workshop will lay the foundation for writing improved learner-survey questions but will not, by itself, make participants expert question writers. Guided and iterative practice with extensive coaching is required for true expertise. Those who are successful in this workshop, will almost certainly be able to write significantly better questions than are found on traditional smile sheets, but they will not yet be experts. Participants who are successful can graduate to the next level of certification, the Master Certification—where guided, iterative practice, and one-on-one coaching are provided.
