Groen & Yves Herry  \nUniversity of Ottawa  \nAbstract  \nAt one of Ontario’s largest universities, the University of Ottawa, course evaluations involve about 6,000 course sections and over 43,000 students every year.  \nThis paper-based format requires over 1,000,000 sheets of paper, 20,000 envelopes, and the support of dozens of administrative staff members. To examine the impact of a shift to an online system for the evaluation of courses, the following study sought to compare participation rates and evaluation scores of an online and paper-based course evaluation system. Results from a pilot group of 10,417 students registered in 318 courses suggest an average decrease in participation rate of 12–15% when using an online system. No significant differences in evaluation scores were observed. Instructors and students alike shared positive reviews about the online system; however, they suggested that an inclass period be maintained for the electronic completion of course evaluations.  \nRésumé  \nÀ l’Université d’Ottawa, une des plus grandes universités de l’Ontario, les évaluations de cours impliquent quelques 6 000 cours et plus de 43 000 étudiants chaque année.

Par ailleurs, professeurs et étudiantsont émis des commentaires positifs sur le système en ligne, mais ont suggéré de maintenir une courte période en classe pour que les étudiants remplissentl’évaluation de leur cours en ligne.  \nCourse evaluations and the promotion of this practice are important parts of any system that aims to enhance teaching and contribute tothe quality of the student experience. Not to be overlooked, feedback from course evaluations is an important tool for professors. Beyond the feedback they receive, the results are also important for the development of their careers since they are part of a professor’s portfolio required for tenure, promotion, and contract renewals.  \nThis paper presents the results of a pilot project conducted at the University of Ottawa to evaluate the impact of the online evaluation of courses on student participation rates and on the evaluation scores when compared with the paper-based course evaluation method completed in class.  \nContext and Review of the Literature  \nAtthe University of Ottawa course evaluations involve about 6,000 course sections andover 42,000 students every year. Paper-based course evaluations consisting of 13 questions are distributed in-class and completed by the attending students. Near the end of the semester, a 20-minute period is set aside for the completion of evaluation forms at the beginning of the class. Students are also given an additional sheet to share their comments with the course instructor. The forms are scanned by an optical reader, and the results are sent to the professor, the program director, and the dean. Comment sheets are only sent to the professor. Every year course evaluations require over 1,000,000 sheets of paper and 20,000 envelopes.
