CIRTL Online course- “An entirely practical guide to online evaluation systems”
I am co-creating this course and will be co-instructor for this project along with Dean Vicki Roth.
This course is supported by the CIRTL consortium. This is an online course which is open to early
faculty and graduate students at schools in the CIRTL network. Its aim is to expose students to
online evaluations system by using WeBWork as an example.
