Techquest Evaluation
Jun 4th, 2009 by nilesh148
Evaluation is big part of any project. The question was how I evaluate my Techquest in a neutral way so as I could improvise over a period of time and take all the feed backs and criticism in a positive way so as there is a change for better. When I started working on this plan, I was apprehensive and slightly intimidated, as how one make an interactive website which would cater to the needs of SAT1 students. This website will take in students’ data and test them online it was indeed a big challenge. After consistent effort and lot of brain storming, finally my web site was ready to be presented to my students’ colleague and MSU professors.
To approach another project I would do more research in terms of conducting surveys and asking them what they want from that particular project, I am designing so as to deliver a better product. Secondly I would defiantly plan out for my resources in terms of technical support and monetary support so as I should know how much time and how many finances are required to continue work on that project. Also as technology is a very powerful tool which could be used in many ways to enhance learning I would defiantly plan using more technology in my other Techquest.
Lessons that others might benefit are always to do research prior to starting any project. A survey of the people that reflects the audience requirement is very important factor. Try always to run the project in pilot form if your ambitious it is good but always try to figure out the finances and your technical abilities.
While doing internet research, I found that there is lot of material on the Internet and this entire websites caters SAT1 students` in their own way. So plenty of ideas popped into my head which could not be implemented, I needed gestation time to analyse it understand it and apply it. Now that my Techquest is ready I can see both the side of picture and that is if I had to approach another project of the similar type the first thing I would do differently is, I would try to get my own online test which would be inbuilt in the SAT web site rather than depending on the Google forms. Secondly I would add an online search for student’s so as they could search different universities and their rating rather than linking them to some other website. I would also like to add some information of other exam which students have to undertake before going to North America like TOFEL and SAT11 on my website.
