Tools for collecting feedback
At MCC I’ve consulted with other faculty who enjoy using online tools for collecting feedback from their students (especially if they are free).
Our staple is Mount Royal College’s FAST (Free Assessment Summary Tool) at http://getfast.ca . Some of the things that are noteworthy about the tool are:
- It not only collects data but also aggregates it so that you can see things in summary forms such as charting and graphing
- It supports short-answer feedback as well as likert and paragraph-style feedback.
- You can download a special MS-Excel Spreadsheet that contains a special feedback connection link that will download collected data directly into the spreadsheet. This is great if you like to have an offline version of the data all ready to print.
