They are designed to give instructorsauthentic, rich insights and information on student learning issues they can effectively use tosynthesize external formative feedback. Such feedback can then be used by students to assessand monitor progress and overcome learning issues. The feedback also offers importantopportunities for instructors to reflect on their own beliefs and practice and catalyze change tostudents' learning opportunities and their classroom experience.Instructor B: I have used two different methods now to automate collection of muddy points.Three years ago I began using the

Are these learners more engaged in the course?In order to answer the first question as towhether learners were more engaged if theywere asked a set of preliminary questions, thelearners were separated into two groups, an Agroup and a B group. The A group was theInquiry-Based Group. This group was given aset of 5-10 preliminary questions before anyvideos or content was delivered. As an example,learners were asked what the images shown

Students evaluated instructors on14 items using a Likert scale between 1 and 5, with 1 being the poorest assessment of a particularitem and 5 being the best, and their results were compiled in a spreadsheet. Summary statisticswere calculated and tabulated as shown in Table 3 for each engineering discipline evaluated. Theaverage results range from 69.2% to 95.4%. Of the six instructors, two obtained average ratingsof above 90%, three received ratings between 80% and 90%, and one received a rating of below70%. Comments that accompanied some of these higher
