Before selecting prompts from the forms below, determine a focus for the observation (f2f or Zoom session) or review (AsULearn course or part of a course). Consider what type of feedback will be most useful at this time for improving your instruction. Here are some options for crafting your focus:
Select a lens or combine prompts from a variety of lenses below. (These lenses are aligned to the areas of the Teaching Quality Framework that can be best assessed by peers).
Select the checklist at the bottom of this page for an online course review.
Identify your own prompts based on the feedback you need as an instructor. For example, you may ask your observer to review artifacts such as a course syllabus, assignment guidelines and student work, recorded mini-lectures with engagement techniques, discussion board exchanges, etc.
Be sure to send your area of focus and specific prompts to your observer during Week One: Prepare.
