EVALUATION

While the computer records student performance within the simulated work tasks and decision points, other skills are best evaluated by the instructor through performance checklists. In the evaluation section of the Instructor’s Guide, you’ll find checklists to use for three writing samples, weekly classroom observations, and team participation evaluations. You can use these forms for your note taking, and then transfer your evaluation marks into the EnterTech database through your online instructor tools (more about this in the next section of this tutorial!).

Within the online activities, students may sometimes intellectualize interpersonal choices that they are unable to exhibit in face-to-face interactions. That’s why it’s important for you to rate your students on their interpersonal, communications, self-regulation and growth skills. Also, the computer does not have the capacity to assess individual writing, either in terms of content or grammatical structure.

You can choose to do a few student checklists daily or cumulatively at the end of each modular week. But set aside time regularly to input your checklists into the EnterTech database. Your evaluation forms an important component of the overall assessment of student knowledge, skills and aptitudes.

The EnterTech Project also contains online surveys to be used by both instructors and students pre- and post-training. These surveys, including a Biographical, Pre-Expectation and Post-Expectation forms, provide valuable information and feedback for overall program evaluation. The surveys are available on the EnterTech Log-In screen.

Note: the EnterTech database allows only single use of each form by each individual student. The first day of class students complete the Biographical and Pre-Expectation surveys. On the last day of class, students complete the Post-Expectation survey.
