I am a wife and mother of two, an 8-yr-old who loves airplanes and is learning to fly using a flight simulator and a 5-yr-old girl who can't wait to grow up. I have been in an academic environment all my life. After college, I taught English at a high school in Brownsville, Tx (my hometown) and stayed "in the trenches" for 8 years. In 2002, I moved to TSTC, Harlingen. I teach Comp and Tech Writing. My interest is researching strategies which help students be successful in first-year classes.

I have been in the classroom, in one way or another, all my life. After 6 years of only being a teacher, I realized I miss the other side of the classroom. Because I have two young children and cannot take the joy of an extended family from them, I chose to pursue my degree online.

Monitoring and Reporting--Writing SOS

1. What kinds of reports will you generate to capture the data necessary to write the evaluations?
Implementation status reports, periodic evaluations, financial updates,

2. To help you think about the reporting system you will design, answer the following questions:

What kinds of information will you need to capture?

Qualitative Data--gather questionnaire from students, from faculty, from tutors; problems by tutors; suggestions by users
Quantitative Data--Track usage,
Pre-test tutors to identify skills; train and give post-test
Growth of FAQ; # of hits on website; Growth of instructional mini-clips

How will you capture that information? (What forms will you use? Will you have to create these forms yourself? In what ways will you capture the information? When will this information have to be collected and analyzed?)

Questionnaires—created by…???/captured monthly
Information captured by WebCt; computer; email
Website—created by…
Training evaluations

Who will capture this information? How long will it take?

Computers and director; support personnel

What ongoing information and reports will you be required to monitor and evaluate?
????

How and when will you incorporate what you have learned into the project?

Mid-semester; semester end

What information and reports (if any) will you have to generate that will be required by others—local groups, government, sponsors, consortium partners, stakeholders, and so on.

????

For whom will various reports be written? What information will these groups need and how will they use that information?

Internal for improvement
External????

Who will write these reports and how much time will it take?

Director will write reports; how long—2 weeks

I'm very interested in who you list as the folk who will capture information here. I also really like the idea of instructional mini-clips; this is something I've wanted to do for a long time at TTU. Perhaps we can collaborate.
