Drawn from the literature and the experiences of two faculty members, this presentation will highlight the many opportunities to engage in SoTL and demonstrate the impact that SoTL activities have had on the teaching approaches and student learning outcomes that the presenters have seen in the diverse array of face-to-face and online courses that they teach.
This presentation will illuminate why peer review and self-reflection are important in promoting academic success and student engagement in both online and face-to-face courses. It will showcase the effective and easy-to-implement techniques that the presenters use to provide students with opportunities to look outward and inward and how the results contribute to course grades and the overall assessment of student learning. Attendees will be able to incorporate these techniques into any course at any level.
The presenters developed a methodology for revising program-level learning outcomes that is efficient, effective and readily adaptable for other degrees. They will introduce their methodology, present preliminary findings, identify what worked well versus how the methodology could be improved upon in the future and offer insights into how the methodology could be used to revise learning outcomes in other disciplines.
