You've been assigned your first online class to teach and you feel like you're ready. You've done your homework and learned the ins and outs of the institution's course management system. You've structured your content in purposeful ways and developed thoughtful guiding questions to situate student learning and motivate them.

Free Online Course Assessment Tool

I'm not sure what this tool adds beyond what Survey Monkey or the like do, except maybe that you can survey larger numbers of students than 100 with out a cost.

The TooFAST initiative is committed to providing users with a simple online survey tool for teachers to assess their students' impressions of their courses and their teaching. Using TooFAST does not cost anything and we are offering all our code under the terms of the GPL.
