Proposal of a Comprehensive Evaluation Model for Online Courses at the CENID Educational Institution
Abstract
The present work arises from a macro project of the Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones para el Desarrollo Docente (Cenid) entitled “Integration of ICTs in University Teaching Activity”. The objective was to present a methodological proposal to carry out the elements of design, evaluation and monitoring of an online course to be taught among the teachers of the institution in question. This is a descriptive exploratory research whose purpose was to contribute to the establishment of curricular and pedagogical guidelines for the creation of online courses. To validate the course, a pilot course was implemented and at the end of it a survey. The results obtained indicate that for those involved the pilot course was enriching and beneficial for their professional career. The most important advantages are the performance of practical activities, the great participation in the discussion forums, the activities developed by each teacher, the clarity and quality of their presentations, as well as the quality of the material. Finally, although the course was generally positively valued, there were also some disadvantages: the lack of an online induction course where each point to work on was raised, the few activities that promote collaborative work and especially the gaps that presented in some modules, since the time granted for carrying out each of the activities was sometimes either too much or too short for their delivery. These observations made by the participants invite us to reflect on the need to plan the pedagogical elements more adequately.
