Web-based student data collection and assessment

Tom Bensky, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Physics with interests that include using the latest web technologies in teaching. Abstract Gathering information from students for learning assessment is a critical need of any teacher. In this paper, the tech-savvy instructor is introduced to basic techniques of creating custom, web­ based, student-data collection sofiware. Despite widespread deployment of generalized course­ management systems, the author argues that small, ultra-customized data collection methodologies, can be of great help in collecting and assessing student input, reducing demands on paper, and easing the familiar grading bottleneck while satisfying an individual's pedagogical needs.
