Preparation
Some questions to think about before starting your work.
- Have the groups been created in myCourses already?
- If they have, what is their name?
- If not, they will need to be created.
- Do you wish to use the Short Form or Long Form model?
- Do you have additional questions you wish to add?
- Will you be using the default Likert scale?
- "Please select the response that best matches your assessment of each team member. Use 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Very Often, 5=Always."
- If not, please plan out the definition of your scale.
- Do you want students to be able to view the results?
| Remarque |
|---|
In Peer2Peer there was optional to have the student evaluate themselves. In this alternative, the work to recreate that is too much so the student is always included in their group. If the instructor does want the student to evaluate themselves, a statement could be added to the instructions. To recreate that option on myCourses a custom survey would have to be created and restricted to each individual student. |
Open the Groups for reference
Having the Groups tool open in another Browser tab/Window will make it easy to copy/paste names during creation.
- In the course you are working in, go to Groups
- Select the Category
- Click on the number in the Members column to display the members.
Survey Creation
A survey will need to be created for each group. The follow outlines the steps to while editing the survey.
