Description
Spring 2020 presented substantial challenges for many campuses as they abruptly shifted from in-person to online instruction. While institutions rapidly responded to the crisis, they may not have found an effective way to document their efforts.
In this presentation, the University of Rochester will share two key related topics: how the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) addressed emerging challenges in the realm of pedagogy and assessment; and how they documented their strategies for institutional benefit and for accreditation purposes.
The Executive Director of CETL will share how student survey data and qualitative faculty data were used to inform the development of resources to support improving the teaching/learning experience. The Associate Provost for Academic Administration will present a process she developed for documenting (and celebrating) the strategies employed and the resources developed in response to student and faculty needs. A question and answer period will follow their brief presentation.
Key Takeaways
This session will provide attendees the following key takeaways:
1. Determine how available data can be mined to inform action- even in a crisis situation
2. Consider where and how to find valuable qualitative data
3. Learn how to conduct assessment data collection by interview (JMSouza ATM)
4. Consider documentation to serve multiple purposes including institutional improvement,
accreditation, and celebration!
