Instructor Survey Metric

• This affects survey templates that identified instructor multiple-choice questions as part of their metric(s).
• Instructors now see the metric for themselves while they view their course evaluation results.
• Department admin viewing results see the aggregate of all instructors within the department.
• College admin viewing results see the aggregate of all instructors within the college/school.
• Past course evaluation results will automatically be updated to reflect this new logic.

Outcomes Assessment Improvements

• Removal of Assessment Schedules! You will never have to schedule an assessment ever again  
• New Assessment Cyle added to the Program! Users after publishing their program will now be able to select which outcomes or courses they want to be assessed each term.
• Instruction Guide will be available by Friday, October 11th on AEFIS Academy.

Continuous Course Section Rollover Workflow

• This is a daily process that starts with the activation of the term (the first time the term data is imported to AEFIS) and continues every day a set of SIS data files is imported.
• The workflow copies data from a previous term to the current term based on the matching of one or more instructors information, including:
  • Copying of Syllabus Data
  • Copying of Course Section Learning Outcomes
  • Copying of Course Section Question
  • Copying of AEFIS created Assignments
  • Copying of Assignment Linking
    • Assignment Linking recreation process if all assigned are pulled from the Learning Management System is dependent upon AEFIS receiving the new External LMS ID in the data files as well as the assignment name(s) staying the same.
