As the popularity of online programs grows, universities nationwide still differ in how they evaluate web-only courses — and some have few standardized methods at all. Ray Schroeder, the director of the center for online learning research and service at the University of Illinois, said officials there conduct annual performance reviews for faculty members as well as student-evaluation forms to assess online programs. “[Students] provide much more feedback in online evaluations than they do when they are rushing out of the classroom,” he said. Iowa State University uses a similar practice to the UI, asking students to evaluate the class and working with instructors to continue improving courses.
