Course Evaluation
By anndaly
1) How well does this course meet your expectations / learning objectives?
My primary learning objective was to familiarise myself with the technologies, which has been achieved.
2) What are the difficulties encountered in accessing the course materials on the Internet at your workplace which have NOT been reported before?
I completed most of the course at home due to time constraints and IT restrictions in the workplace. In retrospect I've done myself no favours as I'll encounter the IT problems when introducing the technologies to collegues and library users.
3) Did you need to seek the permission of your trust IT before you accessed certain course materials on the Internet?
As above, I completed most of the course at home.
4) Do the readings meet the learning objectives of each topic?
Yes, the readings were relevant, enjoyable and interesting.
5) What is the average amount of time you spent on the course each day?
I tended to work on the course in block hours of 3 - 4 but on average I would estimate 5 - 6 hours per week.
6) How do you find the interaction among participants of the course?
It was good speaking with participants during the conference calls but apart from that interaction was limited.
7) Will you continue blogging and/or reading RSS after the course?
Blogging in terms of this course probably not, but I would like to set up a fresh blog between friends to keep my hand in. RSS, yes I will continue with.
Action planning for the next 3 months:
Objective 1:
To re-visit parts of the course that I feel less confident about.
Target:
To improve my competence to enable me to relay my knowledge to collegues and library users.
Deadline:
No deadline - continuous.
Objective 2:
Develop some sort of wiki to support junior doctors involved in preparing journal club presentations.
Target:
To promote the use of wikis in the Trust.
Deadline:
No deadline - continuous.
Objective 3:
Introduce RSS to team and library users.
Target:
As above to promote the new technologies.
Deadline:
No deadline - continuous.
