Marselisborg Gymnasium chose Opinoma for teaching evaluation and evaluation of basic courses

Marselisborg Gymnasium, located in Aarhus, decided to create clearer and common guidelines for student evaluations at the school. Head of Education Hans Christian Hulvej was researching the market for platforms to support a new practice and came across Opinoma. Opinoma was invited to host a one-hour demonstration of the educational assessment software platform, and it was the start of a great collaboration on the future of assessment practice.

“We found Opinoma’s platform to be a good and intuitive system that met our expectations for a new system. The system was easy to use for both students and teachers, and it would give us as a management team a good opportunity to get a complete overview of the evaluations,” says Hans Christian Hulvej.

The training evaluation was based on one of Opinoma’s templates. This resulted in over 190 evaluations with over 3000 student responses. Marselisborg Gymnasium was then able to work with the data in Opinoma, including comparing classes and subject groups, in order to find trends, identify areas where the subject groups were particularly good and some opportunities for improvement.

“We helped design a number of normal frameworks for the results we want to achieve on various parameters, including student motivation, well-being and initiatives such as varied teaching. These normal frameworks allow our trainers to see where things are going well and where they can be improved. After everyone has evaluated, we have meetings with the teams to see if there were any areas that needed special attention, says Head of Education Mikkel Hollænder Jensen.

Marselisborg Gymnasium wanted to implement a formative evaluation practice where teaching evaluation is carried out systematically, thus creating a comparable data basis that can show whether the pedagogical efforts also have a positive impact on student motivation and teaching quality. The school has a clear expectation that Opinoma’s platform can be a crucial tool in that process.

“A very big strength of Opinoma is their support. We find that they are always ready to help with various questions that inevitably arise when a new system is implementedsays Head of Education Mikkel Hollænder Jensen.

In the onboarding process and the subsequent collaboration with regular meetings, Marselisborg Gymnasium came up with a number of good ideas that have already benefited other educational institutions:

“There is a wide variation in how institutions approach teaching evaluation today. Some already have an integrated evaluation culture, while others are just getting a digital evaluation concept off the ground. Our platform can help institutions no matter where they are in their practice. Marselisborg Gymnasium is very forward-thinking – and dares to set ambitions for evaluation practices to continue the high quality of teaching. That’s why we welcome the collaboration and especially the great input we receive, as it benefits our other customers,” says Rasmus Holm from Opinoma.
