This new workshop series focuses on student learning and how instructors can arrange conditions to expedite student learning. Some conditions that instructors can arrange will emphasize expectations (e.g., learning outcomes, teaching goals, assignments, practice questions); some will emphasize student activities (e.g., active learning, exercises, assignments, collaborative learning, practice opportunities); and some will emphasize motivational conditions (e.g., building intrinsic motivation, immediacy of feedback).
2012 - 2013 Workshops
Defining and Assessing Learning Outcomes
pt. 1: Monday, July 8, 2013, 10:00 ~ 11:30 AM, HHB 128

Facilitator: Joe Parsons, Acting Associate Director, Learning and Teaching Centre
This interactive, three-part workshop introduces principles to guide effective learning outcome design and assessment. Participants will apply these principles by designing learning outcomes for their own courses. The workshop involves three, 80-min sessions (and a wee bit of between-session homework). Each session builds upon the prior session. Overall workshop learning outcomes include: "Expect-to-see" participants will compose a set of six or more useable learning outcomes applicable to their courses; "Like-to-see" participants will apply the principles of learning outcome design to their selection of instructional and assessment strategies.
