HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Using the CLO Placeholder (Admin) [UW-Madison]

AEFIS is now HelioCampus AC. For information about the HelioCampus AC rebrand, review this KnowledgeBase document

HelioCampus AC (Formerly AEFIS) administrators have the option of including a course learning outcome (CLO) question. In the evaluation students will self evaluate if they learned the outcome. There are several options for answering: prior to taking the course, after taking the course, both before and after or neither.

Adding a Course Learning Outcome (CLO) Question Placeholder to a Survey Form

  1. Create a new survey form, or navigate to an existing survey form.
    1. To create a new form, refer to HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating a Survey Form (Admin) [UW-Madison]
    2. To edit an existing form, refer to HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Editing Title and Details (Admin) [UW-Madison]
  2. The survey form must be in draft mode to make changes.
    1. If it has already been published, you must unpublish it.
    2. If it has already been used by a survey schedule, then you cannot unpublish it. Instead, please copy this survey form, and create a new one.
  3. Add questions to your Survey Form.
    1. See HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating and Editing Questions (Admin) [UW-Madison].
  4. If you want students to self evaluate if they learned a CLO, add the CLO placeholder. Make sure to enter descriptive text and choose to evaluate one of the following:
    1. Before Taking This Course
    2. After Taking This Course
    3. Before AND After Taking The Course, or
    4. None of the Above

CLO placeholder parameters

  • CLOs are stored in the course catalog using Lumen, and transfer into HelioCampus AC. 
  • The student view will list each outcome followed by the options chosen. In the sample below, the option to self evaluation "After Taking This Course" was chosen.
  • Another option is to ask the student to rate their overall knowledge of the course learning outcome. In this scenario the better option may be Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent.
