This page will give you ideas for evaluation moments or touchpoints for your overall evaluation. Creative approaches like these aim to be more meaningful for students (eg reflection points, summaries of learning so far, designing building blocks towards assessment) as well as more engaging. They also aim to capture student voices that might not respond to unit evaluations as well as offering different sorts of formats (audio, visual); it aims to offer more range and inclusivity. These tools and worksheets are based on research. These are just a few examples – there are worksheets (in most cases) and explanatory cards – and you can re-design these or adapt your own.

For more ideas or for some downloadable and some customisable sheets head to sharepoint site: Tool kit. This also includes templates you can duplicate for padlets and google forms as well as information on radar diagrams. If you want any help with these contact me on f.hall@lcc.arts.ac.uk. If you develop your own I would love to link them to this page too.

TO NOTE:

• You should have two or so touch points if you are using this for more than a short intervention.
• These should be directed to the question you are exploring in your evaluation (ie not generic)
• Collating this sort of data and analysing it effectively can ensure your evaluation is robust
• These can be adapted in various ways (eg use Miros/padlet; prompt cards can help focus)
• The icons can help you select an appropriate type of evaluation (eg student learning, experience..)

Advice Cards – student learning

Quote postcard – student experience

Experience Map – student journey

Confidence Dashboard – student experience

Checklists and targets – Student experience

Building Blocks – student journey

Co-creating a journey to an assessment, then personalising it can be useful so students can set milestones to achieve their goals – it needs to be revisited. It can be done digitally – eg on miro board – as well.

Stop, start, continue – student learning

Four Things – student experience

Audio snapshots and friendship chats

These provide ways to gather more freeform information – and go in-depth.

Board of Promises – student experience

Thematic Mapping – student journey

INTERACTIVE EVALUATION DESIGN TOOL

Below is a prototype tool for suggesting evaluation designs – do have a go. It will offer some suggestions based on your inputs for ideas for tools to collect data. This is still a work in progress.

NOTE – its suggestions will be based on your inputs – if you put audio for example there is only one audio tool so it will only suggest that one. If you put confidence dashboard it will repeat that at each stage because it is important to revisit the confidence board at each point. For other inputs it will vary the touch points. You can tick more than one for the modalities and areas you want to explore.

All tools can be found above for the detail.
