Ongoing Course Assessment (OCA)

The Ongoing Course Assessment (OCA) online survey tool is intended to provide individual faculty members confidential, low-stakes, anonymous feedback from students about their teaching. If you are interested in using OCA, DIIA provides the following related services to help you:

• Training on how to use the OCA system to develop your survey
• Assistance in writing your survey questions
• Consultation on how to interpret the results of your survey
• Individual consultation on strategies for improving instruction based on your OCA feedback

If you would like to know more about using OCA or to set up a consultation please contact oca@lists.cc.utexas.edu.

There are three ways to assign a survey to your class using the OCA tool. These are listed from the easiest to the most complex methods.

1. Assign a template that already exists
2. Build a template using the question bank
3. Customize your own template using questions you have created.

Once you have assigned a survey, you can do any of the following

• Extend survey dates
• Delete an assigned survey
• View your survey results
• Download your survey results
• Delete the survey results
