Digital Promise 2018¶

Digital Promise. (2018). Meeting Learners Where They Are: Using Microsoft Forms to Drive Improvement in Learning Outcomes. https://digitalpromise.dspacedirect.org/items/8a12967d-b67d-404f-875f-3dc61d0cc32e doi:10.51388/20.500.12265/52

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Interview evidence: Scottish teachers used Forms for mandated parent questionnaires because paper versions yielded few returns; a U.S. teacher sent about 10 questions before each parent-teacher conference.

"Sending this Form out in advance of the meeting, he explained, has resulted in more meaningful and productive meetings with parents."

Interview evidence on efficiency: an eighth-grade teacher described self-grading Forms feeding spreadsheets; other teachers used Forms for instrument-repair requests, locker assignments, lunch choices, and reflecting on assessment quality.

"So yes, it takes time to create the Form, but you actually get that time back tenfold in the less time it takes you afterwards."
