What is eCAFE?

eCAFE is an entirely online evaluation system, everything from setting the questions, to the students taking the surveys, to viewing the results is done online at http://www.hawaii.edu/ecafe. There are 4 phases to eCAFE:

• Staff Setup (Tue., Sept. 1 - Wed., Sept. 30) - A Staff member is an officially designated user representing an organization (A campus, college, division, department, or subject). This user sets questions that will appear on all surveys for courses within that organization. The Staff user also designates a few instructor-specific settings.
• Instructor Setup (Mon., Oct. 5 - Thu., Oct. 29) - Instructors select questions to be added to their survey in addition to those selected by Staff.
• Evaluation (Mon., Nov. 23 - Thu., Dec. 10) - Students submit their completed evaluations.
• Results (Mon., Dec. 28) - Evaluation results are available for viewing.

If your organization (campus, college, division, department, or subject) would like to use eCAFE this semester, please contact us at ecafe-uhm@hawaii.edu ASAP so we may set up an account for you.

If you are an instructor who wants to use eCAFE even though your organization is not, just log in during the instructor period and enable and edit your surveys. For more information please visit our FAQ page at http://www.hawaii.edu/ecafe/faq.jsp

We also have a brown bags presentation that goes through the entire eCAFE cycle. The demo portion of the video is approximately 11 minutes long and is located at: http://www.hawaii.edu/its/brownbags-trainings/brownbags_sp09_eCafe.mov

There will be additional brown bags presentations this semester:

• Thursday, September 17 @ 11:30 - Overview of eCAFE with a focus on the Staff role.
• Friday, October 2 @ 11:30 - Overview of eCAFE with a focus on the Instructor role.
• Thursday, October 15 @ 11:30 - Overview of eCAFE with a focus on the Instructor role. This will be a repeat of the October 2nd presentation.
