Using assessment data to make decisions regarding curriculum and instruction cannot be isolated to an administrative office. In order for data to have a meaningful and lasting impact on the academic program, it is important to solicit diverse stakeholder perspectives and provide opportunities for faculty engagement at every stage of the assessment process development. Developing collaborations in order to achieve incremental goals helps to establish a pattern of success and creates a vision of future accomplishments and an institutional culture of assessment. Each institution has unique needs. This workshop is designed to provide small group interaction to help attendees target optimal strategies doe their institutions.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1) Identify why stakeholder buy-in is important
2) Formulate effective strategies for engagement of faculty and administration
3) Identify principles of Improvement Science to support a process of curriculum review
4) Review longitudinal assessment data to identify curricular gaps
5) Utilize assessment data to develop improvement plans
6) Develop specific strategies tailored to the needs of the participants’ institutions
The Truth About Your Web App's PerformanceJohn Riviello
The performance of your web app is obviously important. But how do you know your web app is performing well for all of your users? Out of the box tools provide us metrics, but most only provide an overall view. This case study of building the XFINITY X1 single-page web app will demonstrate what frontend performance data you should be gathering, how to gather it, and how to make sense of all that data.
Existing tools provide insight into the performance of our web applications, but there is not a single tool that gives you the full picture. You can fill these gaps by gathering the performance data of your actual users. In this talk, we'll walk through the parts of the W3C Navigation Timing, High Resolution Time & User Timing recommendations that you can easily take advantage of right now to collect important metrics (with the help of Open Source software). We'll determine the "types" of users you need to focus on to understand your web app, as well as what other factors could impact those individual users' experiences. And we'll make sure "Average Response Time" is never the primary focus of your metrics dashboard.
