How Driving Evals Works

Online forms to evaluate students ... and instructors

  • Instructor evaluate students with either a conventational rating system or the Skill Level Instruction Program, a set of concrete written skill criteria, one for each skill and level combination.
  • 100% on-line. No paper forms. No scanning. No manual re-entering of data.
  • Students evaluate their instructor too. And the event and classroom.
  • Evaluations are stored in permanent student and instructor logbooks.

Helping manage student/instructor assignments

  • You can continue to pair students and instructors in your registration system. Driving Evals will import your assignments.
  • Or use the powerful Driving Evals auto-assign function to equitably assignment students to instructors.
  • And you can even place students in run groups based upon past evaluation ratings and other data.
  • Print your day-of-event matterials: assignment sheets, packet stickers, badges, and rosters.

Communicating

  • Before the event, email each instructors with their student assignment(s) so they can read their logbooks and goals prior to the event.
  • Your classroom instructor can read a summary of the students' experience and goals to better prepare.
  • Instructors and students can contact each other, if desired.
  • Particpants are reminded -- and pestered if needed -- to complete their evaluations.
  • After the event, organizer can read extensive reports about the evaluations.
