Electronic Evaluation of Instructor

1. Electronic Evaluation of Instructor A New ESEI

2. Traditional Electronic Evaluation of Instructor Traditional ESEI systems are tailor-made for individual networks. They lack flexibility in that drastic changes to a network often break current system configurations. Additionally, although there is a large market for ESEI systems in colleges and universities around the country, very little work has been completed on producing a system that can be dropped into a network with little modification. The goal of the project is to produce an ESEI system that requires little modification after production at each site it is implemented. • Old ESEI systems are inflexible. • There is currently no generic solution for the problem at hand. • Our project group will implement a solution that can work in any TCP/IP environment currently used.

3. How can all these systems talk?

4. The Solution • ESEI server will support all traditional functions including creation of instructor surveys with essay questions for each class and the ability for faculty to modify surveys. • ESEI server will integrate with necessary systems by means of a communication protocol that is easily used by custom client applications that must interface with the ESEI server. Clients will augment their own networks with the ESEI system client programs very easily.

5. What It Provides to Users • Ability to sort and view different evaluations based upon desired criteria (term, instructor, etc.). • Ability for notifications send to students to fill out evaluations based upon Admissions & Records lists of classes. • Ability for faculty and administration to create and edit evaluation questions before dispatching evaluations to the student body.
