    Assessing the Process of Team-Based Projects to Promote Quality Contribution and Equitable Assessment
    (Indiana University, 2024-03-08) Zhu, Liugen
    This article explores the development and implementation of a multifaceted evaluation approach aimed at assessing both the product and process aspects of team-based projects. Specifically, it delves into the practice of utilizing peer evaluation to evaluate the intricate process dynamics within team-based projects. In support of this methodology, this article references relevant literature and theories to underscore the importance of assessing the process and advocating for equitable assessment practices. The article includes the peer evaluation form, an informative FAQ page, a group discussion assignment, and a hypothetical example illustrating the grading process.

    Improving Student Learning with an Early Self-Reflection and Assessment
    (Indiana University, 2023-04) Zhu, Liugen
    Instructors often set expectations and explain what students need to do to succeed in their courses. Students achieve success by developing and applying effective study habits. This self-reflection and assessment survey contains ten true/false questions. These questions show students the correct study habits that will lead to improved learning and good grades. These questions help students predict their performance level because performance is tied to the amount of learning. Students complete the activity in the fourth or fifth week of a semester. This activity allows students to reflect on their study habits in the first few weeks and find ways to improve their learning and performance for the rest of the course.

    Library Research Guides and the Learning Environment: Go Big or Go Home
    (2017-04-19) Meiman, Meg; McDonald, Courtney; Lowe, M. Sara; Lee, Yoo Young
    In Fall 2016, librarians at Indiana University Bloomington and Indiana University Purdue University in Indianapolis undertook a pilot project to embed course-specific library research guides directly into Canvas course sites. With help from partners at IU's Information Technology division, we were able to install a software tool that uses metadata to connect course and research guides within the navigation menu of a Canvas course. This increased ability to seamlessly present expert research help, library services, and resources (both subscription-based and open educational content) within a learning ecosystem where students and faculty already operate, presented a wonderful opportunity to make this content discoverable. More importantly, integrating library content and research help directly into the LMS itself has promoted greater collaboration among librarians, students, and faculty, and allowed librarians to create a more customized learning environment for students to enhance their learning experience. In this session we will present results from our eight-month pilot, including faculty and student responses to these learning modules, as well as usage data. We will also discuss how this project enables libraries to provide both a consistent user interface and high-quality scholarly content to all students and faculty. Finally, our project presents a compelling opportunity for a more unified approach to information access needs not only across the entire Indiana University system, but among all Unizin institutions.
