Cost-Effectiveness of a Tiered Web-Based Course Evaluation Tool: Benefits and Challenges

This project, led by Katharine Mason and Robin Zuniga, aims to implement a web-based course evaluation tool that enhances institutional practices in teaching and learning. The objectives include fostering student engagement in evaluations, addressing authentication and citizenship issues, and developing a multi-tiered evaluation process. The benefits highlight significant cost savings in terms of printing, labor, and time management, while also improving data security and turnaround time for results. Initial costs involve community comprehension and collaboration among faculty and administrative staff.
