More teaching news: Online and Hybrid Learning Showcase and workshops

By Dateline staff

UC Davis is rolling out an online system for academic course evaluation, or ACE, the first such system to be made available campuswide. Using ACE is voluntary.

The project team announced that it will present ACE at a town hall meeting from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, in the AGR Room at the Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center.

For the academic units that choose to use it, ACE will replace the paper evaluation forms now used everywhere except in the schools of Veterinary Medicine and Education, which already have online course evaluation systems.

The Administrative Application Development Initiative authorized the project, and the ACE Committee oversaw it. The committee of 20 comprises faculty (Academic Senate and non-Academic Senate), staff and students.

The application has been in planning and development for more than a year, and ACE underwent a successful trial run in Summer Session II, said Jeff de Ropp, department manager, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, and co-chair of the ACE Committee.

More information is available online. Or contact de Ropp by email.
