Feedback Manager Development Process
Goals for Sustainability
- Improve teaching/learning without increasing the instructor work load beyond capability.
- Work collaboratively across the university to build an open-source technology tool chest in a coordinated way that benefits all.
- Follow a process of development and implementation that promotes instructor ingenuity and sharing of ideas and objectives across the STEM disciplines.
Because of the diversity of instructors and their needs, it is necessary to create a flexible technology tool chest that can be used in different ways. The product, we hope, will reflect the array of ideas and needs of the STEM community at UW-Madison and that the community will take pride in the development and continued improvement of the tools.
After initial beta-testing and assessment, this tool will be made available to Moodle users worldwide.
Examples of Collaboration
-
Prior to the project, multidisciplinary discussion with chemists and physicists to assess interest.
-
Introbio faculty/staff input into the user-interface.
-
Introbio faculty/staff interviews about ways to use the tool, focus groups on the experience of using the tool.
-
Following the basic development, holding multidisciplinary STEM brainstorming sessions: showing of the tool and brainstorming enhancements to fit other implementation ideas.
-
Distributed testing and assessment of the options and tools.
