Frequently Asked Questions

Should we survey mid-course or end-of-course?

Both serve different purposes. Mid-course surveys catch problems early and allow course corrections. End-of-course provides complete perspective. For longer courses (8+ weeks), use both. For shorter courses, end-of-course is sufficient.

How do we get honest feedback about instructors?

Make surveys anonymous and explain that feedback is used for development, not punishment. Ask specific behavioral questions rather than vague quality ratings. Include both rating scales and open-ended questions for nuance.

What online-specific elements should we measure?

Key online-specific elements: video/audio quality, platform navigation, mobile compatibility, download options, interactive elements (quizzes, discussions), pacing flexibility, technical support responsiveness, and community engagement features.

How do we handle negative course feedback?

Categorize issues: content problems, instructor issues, platform bugs, or mismatched expectations. Content and platform issues can be fixed iteratively. Instructor issues need coaching. Expectation mismatches suggest marketing/description improvements needed.

What's a good course satisfaction benchmark?

Industry benchmarks: 4.2+ out of 5 stars is good, 4.5+ is excellent. NPS above 30 indicates healthy engagement. Completion rates should exceed 40% for self-paced courses. Compare similar course types rather than absolute numbers.

How do we measure learning outcomes?

Combine subjective (perceived learning, confidence) with objective (quiz scores, projects). Ask about skill application: 'Can you use what you learned?' is more meaningful than 'Did you learn?' Track job/skill improvements if possible.
