Assessment of Institutional Readiness for Online Learning

[EN] Covid19 has resulted in educational institutions moving in-person courses to remote instruction. Many faculty, students, and institutional support services were not prepared to handle this abrupt switch in instructional delivery method. Using the end-of-semester undergraduate student course evaluation toolkits, questions were added to assess online instruction in the Fall 2020 through Summer 2021 semesters. While undergraduate students initially seemed generally content with online instruction, we have seen some concerning trends as we assess the responses over time, with decreased satisfaction in courses and instruction and decreased engagement and motivation. The paper recommends some tools that may help institutions increase engagement of online learners.Mathien, L. (2022). Assessment of Institutional Readiness for Online Learning.
