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.

In this presentation, the authors of the paper, “Integrated Planning: The “Difference that Makes a Difference” in Institutional Effectiveness Over Time” share best practices research, and processes for pulling together information regarding offices of institutional effectiveness and their campus subsidiaries. They will share findings on the areas of strength and growth for offices of Institutional Effectiveness and integrated planning, and how the success of institutions is dependent on how the combination of these resources are leveraged to lead strategic planning and improvement. This project is part of a larger nationwide effort called the Grand Challenges in Assessment in Higher Education and the authors are part of a team within the Grand Challenges entitled, “Examining Changes in Institutional Effectiveness (including Student Learning) Over Time.” Presenters will also share out their journey to publication and tips to support your next research project.
