This document discusses designing effective and measurable student learning outcomes. It begins with an overview of the goals for the workshop, which are to help participants determine what needs to be assessed, why, and how outcomes translate to assessments. It then covers various topics around developing outcomes such as getting input from participants on their confidence levels, why outcomes and assessment are important, the importance of asking good questions, rigor in research, and using reflective practice. Key terms are defined and the document emphasizes starting with outcomes in mind and providing a process for developing outcomes that was used at IUPUI.

Moving Forward on Learning Analytics - A/Professor Deborah West, Charles Darw...Blackboard APAC
Learning analytics is a 'hot topic' in education with many institutions seeking to make better use of the data available via various systems. One of the key challenges in this process is to understand the business questions that people working in various roles in institutions would like to be able to answer. However, it is also important that these questions are appropriately structured and specific in order to gather the relevant data. This session builds on the workshop run at last year's Blackboard Learning and Teaching conference where participants explored business questions and use cases for learning analytics from a range of perspectives.
Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Goals for Today
• Build capacity to determine WHAT you need to assess, WHY, and how does that
translate into outcomes
• Align student learning outcomes with course/program activities and assessment
4. Getting a Pulse
• On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that….
1. Have developed measurable outcomes for your course/program?
2. Have created processes that provide good evidence of that learning outcome?
3. Are able to assess the student learning?
4. Based upon evidence, know what to do differently in your course/program in order to increase student
learning?
• Why are you/are you not confident? What is causing you to question?
5. Why Outcomes and Assessment Matter
•Commonly asked questions
•Getting beyond ‘doing good’
•Intentional decision making
•Strategic plan and civic mission of institutions
6. Importance of Good Questions
•What do you need to know and why?
•Refining your questions
•Your question should dictate everything (your plan, your methods, your
approach, your measures)
7. Rigor in Research (Assessment)
• Rigorous thinking
• Hypothesis exploration (Starts with a good question)
• Systematic approach
• Builds upon prior research
• Contributes to the field
• Triangulation across inquiry
• Creates useful, relevant knowledge
(Patton, 2012)
8. Schoen’s Reflective Practice
•Trait of a good professional
•Reflection in-action
•Attentive to new knowledge
•Curious, test ideas, adjust practices
•Revise plans and practices - why are you doing this?
10. TERMS
• Measure/Metrics
• Assessment
• Evaluation
• Research
NOTE: There are no clear or “singular” definitions utilized across community engagement (CE),
which makes it even more important for us to have a clear understanding of how we define our work.
11. Measures/Metrics
… it’s about the outputs; how can CE be measured or quantified?
Main Example in Higher Education:
numbers or “measurements” surrounding
“performance indicators”
Examples of Measurements:
• # and % of faculty/staff/students involved in CE
• # of internships in the community
• $$ economic impact of CE
12. Assessment
…it’s about the outcomes; what are we trying to change or impact through CE?
Main Example in Higher Education:
student learning outcomes
Examples of Assessment:
• What do students learn through CE experiences?
• How does CE influence students’ development?
• How does CE bridge “us v. them” with the community?
• What skills are developed through CE experiences?
13. Evaluation
…it’s about the practice itself; is CE effective, efficient, of a certain quality, etc.?
Main Example in Higher Education:
program and/or teacher evaluation
Example Evaluation Questions:
• What is a high quality service-learning experience?
• Are CE programs cost-effective?
• How do CE programs meet their objectives (i.e. outcomes and outputs)?
14. Research
…it’s about being more generalizable, per se
• Institutional Research
• Higher Education Research
• Disciplinary Research
• Community-Engaged Research (CER)
• Community-Based Research (CBR)
Examples of research:
• Institutional: how does IUPUI do CE?
• Higher Education: how does HE do CE?
• Disciplinary: how does Geography do CE?
• CBR: How does one get a classroom engaged in the community?
• CER: How does one engage with the community in research?
15. Outputs, Outcomes, Impact

Outcome Statements Should…
• Describe what students should be able to demonstrate, represent, or produce based on their
learning histories;
• Rely on active verbs that identify what students should be able to demonstrate, represent, or
produce over time. (Maki, 2004)
• Exist at different levels:
• Lesson/Activity
• Program
• School/Dept/Unit/Center (multiple programs)
• Institutional
• ***Should be able to map your outcomes across all of these****
20. Why are student learning outcomes
important?
• At the course level
• Build a foundation for your course
• Define your expectations
• Describe how your course is relevant to the students’ personal, academic, and/or professional development
• Keep you focused on what is important
• Enable students to articulate what they are learning and have learned.
“Students will role play the problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills necessary to effectively
resolve real-world hotel management scenarios.”
21. Why are student learning outcomes
important?
• At the unit/lesson level
• Build a structure for a unit or session
• Focus each unit or session
• Give learners a clear picture of what to expect
• Provide criteria for constructing assessments
• Guide the selection of learning activities
• Teach learners how to be successful
“Given a problem with two unknowns, students will, in a step-by-step fashion, describe how to solve the problem.”
22. Components of Effective Outcomes
• The intended outcome clarifies what you are attempting to assess
• The intended outcome is measurable
• The intended outcome is useful and meaningful
• One or more methods of assessment can be explicitly tied to the intended outcome
• The CBC Method (three parts)
• Condition: Under what conditions?
• Behavior: What should they be able to do?
• Criterion: How (well) must it be done?
24. What recommendations would you make for improving the learning outcome?
•Outcome 1: Students have an increased ability to identify societal issues and community
needs.
•Outcome 2: Students have an increased understanding of opportunities for community
involvement.
•Outcome 3: Students deepen their understanding of the value of civic engagement.
•Outcome 4: Students have an increased motivation to remain civically engaged after
[insert university].
•Outcome 5: Students heighten their cultural awareness and ability to work in diverse
settings
25. Self-check Questions
• Is it clear what you are assessing?
• Is the intended outcome measurable?
• Active verbs, active verbs, active verbs
• Is the intended outcome measuring something useful AND
meaningful?
• How will this outcome be measured?
28. General Hints, Tips, and Lessons Learned
•Doesn’t happen in isolation
•Iterative process
•The process is just as important as the product – creates shared
understanding and buy-in
•Overwhelming and potentially frustrating at first
29. Steps Taken at IUPUI
•Regularly scheduled meetings (monthly) – all staff
•Bi-weekly meetings we Dir. of Assessment and Program Director
•“Imagine you had $650,000 to develop civic-minded graduates. What would
that look like”
•Post-it notes – 3-4 word statements
•Group all of our ideas into categories
30. Example from IUPUI – Civic Identity
Definition: Students embrace their role as civic agents and as social trustees of knowledge
working with others to create change in the community
Outcome:
• Possess a sense of responsibility and commitment to use knowledge and skills gained through
college experiences to contribute to the greater good of society(social trustee)
• Make informed and principled choices that positively impact society (civic agency)
• Espouse and enact values, dispositions and beliefs that lead to positive societal change
• Articulate effectively how being civically engaged has fostered and informed their civic
knowledge, skills, dispositions, and future intentions
31. Example from IUPUI – Civic
Communication Skills
Definition: Students apply communication strategies to be effective in a community context, showing the ability to
express, listen, and adapt ideas and messages based on the diverse perspectives of others
Outcomes:
• Listen critically to effectively respond to complex situations
• Value the diverse perspectives of multiple stakeholders
• Demonstrate empathy towards others
• Understand the process, outcomes, and active participation in civil dialogue by applying civic communication skills
• Value reciprocity and consensus building
• Engage in an inclusive decision-making process that maximizes strengths and leads to mutually beneficial goals
33. Goals for Part 2
•Data considerations: What do you need, does it already exist, how will you
collect it
•How will you report your findings? Who needs to know?
•Example tools and strategies
37. When you think about the context for assessing community engaged activities
at your campus [within your department, program, project, etc.], which
character from the Wizard of Oz do you most identify with and why?
•Auntie Em/Uncle Henry
•Cowardly Lion
•Dorothy Gale
•Flying Monkeys
•Glinda the Good Witch
•Munchkins
•Ozmites
•Scarecrow
•Tin Man
•Toto
•Wicked Witch of the West
•Wizard
41. Completing the Matrix
• Step 1: Insert your Learning Goals and Learning Outcome/Objective
(columns 1 and 2)
• Step 2: Identify course/program activities (e.g., reflections, dialogue, readings,
events, trainings) – which learning outcome do they align with?
• Note: If an activity doesn’t align with one of your learning outcomes, then why are you
doing it?
• Note: What happens if you’ve identified a set of program outcomes yet none of your
activities can be mapped to that outcome? You have a gap in your programming
42. Completing the Matrix (cont.)
• Step 3: Identify your sources of evidence (column 4)
• Brainstorm sources of evidence for the following examples:
• Value the diverse perspectives of multiple stakeholders
• Stay abreast of contemporary issues and make informed decisions using multiple
sources of information
KEY – Be intentional and strategic
44. So you say you have data…..
Questions to consider:
• What data do you already have?
• What types of data are you collecting on a regular basis?
• How are you currently using your data? Are you using all of it?
• internal purposes vs. external purposes
• What are you still unable to do with your data? Why?
• Who decides what you collect, how you ask the questions, and how it is used?
• Do you need more data? If so, what data do you need?
• What lens(es) are you using when you consider these questions
45. Sources of Evidence of Student Learning
• Surveys (QR Code vs. email, timing)
• Capturing the discussion during reflection sessions
• Focus Group
• Observations
• Wordle
• Second-hand reflection (in the classroom the next day)
• Pictures
SYSTEMATIC
46. see Whitley (2014) in MJCSL
Additional Considerations: Potential Factors
Influencing Student Learning
• Faculty interactions
• Reflection
• Dialogue across difference
• Direct vs indirect service
• Project vs hours
• Student self-select partner or project vs assigned
• Community partner involvement
47.
48. Closing the Assessment Loop
• If you are not using the data you are collecting – STOP
• Who needs this information and what do they care about?
What is the best way to communicate/tell your story?
• Need to know vs Nice to know
• Starts with a good question
