ABSTRACT

The quality of online design education depends on the quality of educational contents, and one of the factors that could increase the quality would be the development of lecture evaluation method based on the design educational contents reflecting the characteristics of online. However, compared to the lecture evaluation system & researches related to design course evaluation in the existing offline universities, it is relatively rare to find researches on the direction to improve design course evaluation in cyber universities. After reviewing literature related to lecture evaluation, this study analyzed the current status and result of evaluation of a course in the Department of Visual Design in S University, a cyber university in South Korea, in order to identify factors that influence lecture evaluation. And, based on online in-depth interview of professor and students, it identified problems and improvements of current design course evaluation and proposed a direction to improve design course evaluation in cyber universities. The direction to improve design course evaluation in cyber universities in this study is as follows: 1) for the evaluation, tools of lecture evaluation need to be classified according to the type of lecture; 2) the lecture evaluation method need to utilize characteristics of online education; 3) online lecture plan must be distributed in advance to more students; 4) the course sign-up system needs to take into account diverse characteristics and levels of online learners; and, 5) the evaluation questions need to reflect characteristics of online design courses. 6) with the adding of evaluation questions for students themselves, online advance education for lecture evaluation must be done. Finally, the results of lecture evaluation must be used aggressively through increasing the credibility of lecture evaluation.
