The fifth annual Four Campus Assessment Conference will be held on April 18, 2008, at Southern Connecticut State University. Faculty and staff from Central, Eastern, Southern and Western will gather to exchange ideas and expertise regarding the assessment of learning for educational improvement. Assessment is an iterative process consisting of:
- Defining/revisiting/asking questions about learning goals/outcomes, including the ways in which learning has occurred so far.
- Selecting/designing tools and methodologies and collecting evidence for student learning. Value added methods take a look at the gains attributable to the learning experiences offered to students in a program.
- Analyzing and interpreting the collection of evidence in relation to the learning goals/outcomes, and making judgments about the learning that has occurred.
- Using the results in a reflective process to plan and implement changes in teaching and/or the curriculum, with the expectation of demonstrable improvements in student learning.
All CSUS faculty and staff are invited to attend. Registration deadline is April 16, 2008. Please note that this particular event is closed to the general public.
