The Assessing Online Facilitation (AOF) instrument and accompanying Facilitation Activity Record were developed by the California State University Tigers Grant Committee as a primary resource for the following:
- Checklist for self-evaluation in combination with student evaluations to gauge both areas of course strengths and areas of needing improvement.
- Framework for invited peer evaluation.
- Outline for a department’s expectations with simple modifications.
- Guide for faculty training.
The Assessing Online Facilitation (AOF) Instrument is essentially a self /peer assessment component of a process representing a cooperative effort to continuously improve online instruction. It is comprised of organized tips and techniques from the literature into an easy-to-use checklist called the Assessing Online Facilitation Instrument, or the “AOF”.
The AOF can:
- Serve as a checklist for self-evaluation in combination with student feedback to gauge both areas of course strengths and areas needing improvement.
- Function as a framework for invited peer evaluation.
- Outline a division/department’s expectations with simple modifications.
- Guide for faculty training.
The Facilitation Activity Record is an optional companion document for the Assessing Online Facilitation (AOF) Instrument. A blank template is available on the AOF website at http://www.humboldt.edu/aof/far.htm.
