Would you like help developing quality assignments?
Creating Effective Assignments, Rubrics, and Assessments
Multiple dates in Jan. & Feb (see dates in the list of events above)
Join the Student Learning Outcome and Assessment (SLOA) committee to learn how to design quality assignments, assessments and rubrics. This training will help prepare faculty for required assessments due by September 30, 2020 and will provide you with the prompts and tools needed to assess learning outcomes, including Critical Thinking.
Please come with your favorite assignment (assessed with scored evidence of the student’s critical thinking). If a written assignment, consider it be with minimum of three pages. If video assignment, it needs to provide enough information to assess critical thinking, or if a performance assignment, it has to elicit the student’s thinking in some way.
Have you seen the new Faculty Dashboard?
Faculty Dashboard Training
Jan. 22
1:00-2:00pm
In summer 2020, the Data Science and Analytics team launched a Faculty Dashboard for faculty to see individualized data about the courses they teach and their current, future, and past students. Join our training session to learn about how to access the dashboard, navigate within it, and how to use the insights it contains.
