IDEA Instruments
IDEA Instruments are course-feedback surveys delivered through Anthology Evaluate for higher education. They provide formative suggestions for improving instruction and summative feedback for faculty evaluation, with attention to student learning. Diagnostic Feedback has 40 questions about learning objectives, teaching methods, and overall impressions. Learning Essentials has 18 questions summarizing progress on relevant objectives and course impressions. Teaching Essentials has 12 questions about teaching methods associated with instructor and course excellence. A separate six-question Feedback tool gathers student input during a semester. Diagnostic Feedback and Teaching Essentials adjust specified ratings for preparation, motivation, work habits, course difficulty, and class size, while reports show raw averages too. Faculty receive customized reports and improvement resources. Students access surveys through their campus Anthology portal. Evaluate supports LTI launches, Blackboard integrations, browser access, accessibility features, anonymous feedback, benchmarking, advanced reporting, and data export. Pricing is available on request.
