> Could you produce a report for the school's administration of each professor's confused/understood ratio?
That would probably make professors (especially non-tenured professors) either terrified of making use of the app, or terrified of tackling complicated subject matter. Even if administrator's announce they aren't going to use the data to decide salary or tenure issues, good luck getting the professors to believe it.
Feedback that helps professors improve is great. Yet another administrative metric that warps people's behaviors, not so much.
- dreadsword 14y agoHaving a group scared of your app is the mark of disruption! I hear what you're saying about avoiding complicated subject matter - that's an interesting effect I hadn't considered. That being said: I was the victim of several "bad" profs in university. Thing is I don't think they were "bad" - I just don't think they knew that they weren't "good" and even if they had, wouldn't have had any idea how move from bad to good. I see this app as one part of a larger equation around designing systems that produce quality education. A complete suite would include tools for professors, administration, and students.
