Collaboration between support services and academics for the win!

Shout out to health sciences!

YES ty from Nursing

See, I needed this last year when I was on the assessment section of my doctoral project. :-)

Scantrons will outlast all of us, just so you know

Funny you bring up scantron...they are still very important to some people!!!

COVID allowed us to kill Scantrons for once and all at our school LOL (we're moving them to using our LMS...so, the concept is still around) GRIN

important that high-stakes summative assessments tend to facilitate conditions resulting in academic dishonesty

Regardless of decisions made and who it benefits, there can be great power in SHARING/TALKING to students about WHY/PURPOSE of the assessment. If nothing else, gives context - even if it's a poor/not-ideal decision on method

yes yes and yes - all great points and hope you can share these on the collaborative doc

Rubrics Rock!

Support and continued professional development on all these areas of effective assessments goes beyond our hour together

Todd - that needs to be a band name!

Better time management on grading helps create time for better connections with students

LOVE rubrics - qualitative feedback + quantitative results all in a direct measure. Win/win/win!

Rubrics, in the way you're describing them, I love for getting assessment to that next level of transparency in assessment too :)

her

Rebecca I really like the idea of transparence to students big bonus with Rubrics also promotes equity

NCLEX (etc.): The highest of high stakes assessment

transparency that is

Engagement...there is the challenge

Please pop your questions for Angela and Chris into the Q&A!

we used discussion posts and case studies, but I would like to hear what you discussed regarding nursing

I have a 3-part blog series about rubrics that I'll post in the shared doc

http://studentaffairsassessment.org/

^ group dedicated to all of this

Thank you Joe!

Yes please! As the person coordinating co-curricular assessment on my campus, I would GREATLY appreciate additional resources!

Really important to know that strategy/core assessment processes and ideas are THE SAME between Academic and Student Affairs assessment

Thanks Joe

So, don't be shy as an SA person to look to academic assessment literature/examples and vice versa!

can someone report the resource document link?

To Angela's question, also THIS: v

https://universitybenchmark.org/

Deanne, are you using software to transcript student participation in co-curricular events and activities?

Thank you, Joe.

THank you Joe!

You can see more information about the OLC Quality Scorecard Suite here: https://onlinelearningconsortium.org/consult/olc-quality-scorecard-suite/

We are looking at adding alignments to some assessments and rubrics in our first-year experience class to assess student services.

Unfortunately, we are not using any software currently. If welcome any suggestions for me to further explore.

I bet he’s asking how to provide evidence of a culture of assessment to a visiting team

Karen - how can I get on that? ;)

Chris and I added a few resources at the end of the resource document to provide some more goodness on these questions - thank you for all the good questions!!!
