Description
Lightning Talks are short, targeted presentations that provide insight into best practices, challenges, and successes in assessment. Listen in as some of the greatest minds and thought leaders share authentic assessment processes, continuous improvement stories, and innovative approaches toward lifelong learning and student success.
As a holistic approach to learning, a comprehensive learner record (CLR) is a catalyst to connect classroom learning to the world beyond the campus. CLR is a portfolio providing a dynamic assessment of student learning across curricular and co-curricular experiences. CLR provides a “digital wallet” for learners to share competencies, skills, and expertise. CLR data can also be used to track learner success across a curriculum, provide targeted supports, and improve
academic programs. Launching a CLR initiative takes time, teamwork, and targeted alignment of resources. This session will provide insight into how the University of Rochester School of Nursing is implementing CLR to provide rich evidence of academic achievement for students, employers, and institutions to communicate the value of education and inform continuous improvement.
Outcomes
Learning Outcome 1: Identify how CLR can be used as a holistic tool assessing competencies
Learning Outcome 2: Enhance students’ active engagement in learning across curricula
Learning Outcome 3: Identify lessons learned from the early stages of implementing a CLR
