The OhioTrek Assessment Team is responsible for providing evaluative feedback about the multimedia program’s tools. Specifically the evaluation team reports on the degree to which the OhioTrek multimedia items have an impact, if any, in targeted northwest primary classrooms. Mail surveys, face-to-face interviews and web surveys are used to tap into the teachers and students’ OhioTrek experiences. Reports as to the multimedia program’s breadth and depth in reaching the intended audience are generated for WBGU-TV 27 and for the Ohio Educational Telecommunications Commission.

 

Questions about the assessment component of the OhioTrek project can be sent to Dr. Melissa Spirek at mspirek@bgnet.bgsu.edu. She is also available at 419-372-8641.
