Many higher education institutions have moved or are moving from print based to online student evaluation of teaching surveys. The aim of this discussion is to share strategies universities are using to increase these rates. The session will start with sharing examples of successful and unsuccessful strategies used by both co-facilitators and quickly move to drawing on the experiences of participants. By the end of the session participants should have many practical ways to increase the response rate for online student evaluation of teaching at their home institution.
