abstract

Student ratings are the traditional approach to course and instructional assessment, yet this procedure has questionable reliability and validity.  Teacher portfolios, while an improvement, also have some shortcomings.  An on-line “learning history” approach to course and instructional assessment was tested in a graduate course in the fall, 2000.  The characteristics of this technique as applied to instructional assessment are reviewed and compared to the student ratings and teacher portfolios approaches, and results of this initial pilot test are presented.  A generic model for adapting this approach to any course is provided along with recommendations for further testing.
