EvaluationGuide is a multi-prism performance assessment development tool as well as a performance assessment calculator. The unique multi-prism design prompts the assessment designer to identify specific items to be used for grading and defines how each item is to be assessed. For the assessor, it removes the scoring decisions when making assessments. Assessments will be consistent and standardized amongst those delivering identical courses, and or programs to all subscribers. Teachers/instructors, regardless of experience, will perform assessments from identical platforms rather than from personal experience and values when making their assessment decisions. The consistency and transparency provides for an improved respect for the assessment system. The assessment feedback feature provides students with positive reinforcement and or recommendations for mark improvement.

EvaluationGuide will not only change the way marks are derived, but it will change the attitudes of those using and interpreting results of the assessment process.

It takes Rubrics to a whole new level!

 

Objectives of the software are to provide:

  • Consistent evaluation criteria amongst all evaluators, instructors, employers for the same course regardless of location of course offering

  • Accessibility to a common evaluation system for multi-site programs

  • Consistent weightings for criteria regardless of who or where a specific performance is being evaluated

  • Transparency for students so they would be able to understand how their marks were arrived at

  • Verified weightings Advisory Committees can and should approve, adjust, and verify the evaluation system and the weightings for the course content

  • Flexibility so all course evaluations could be set up with individual specific evaluation criteria (or all courses could be identical)

  • Security for off-site and on-site courses for evaluators and students

  • Ease of set up for the program administrator

  • Feedback for reporting student marks and for making recommendations for improvement

  • Ease of use for the evaluators so experienced and new staff can produce consistent and standardized evaluations
