The document discusses various sources of data that can be used to document teaching effectiveness, including instructor self-assessment, student perceptions, student learning outcomes, peer/colleague reviews, teaching resources, and administrative perspectives. It provides examples of tools that can gather information from these sources, such as course portfolios, teaching journals, student surveys and feedback, classroom observations, peer reviews of materials, and student achievement outcomes. Graphs and matrices are suggested as ways to analyze and visualize trends in student feedback and comments over time.

The Intersection between Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations ...Melanie Parlette-Stewart
Presented at the 2016 Teaching and Learning Innovations (TLI) Conference at the University of Guelph on April 26, 2016
As academic support staff, we provide front-line support to students and witness, first-hand, the challenges in student skill development.
We have recognized that the skills students require for higher education not only cross disciplinary boundaries but also are applicable to their writing, learning and research. Through a collaborative, cross-unit research project funded by the University of Guelph's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning research grant, we have identified, in the teaching of and learning in third year university courses, a series of disconnects
a) between the learning, writing and information literacy skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course;
b) between professor expectations of student skill requirements and student interpretation of skill requirements from the course outline; and
c) between professor and student understandings of where students should develop these skills (i.e. in class or outside of class).
By conducting and disseminating research on the gap between professor communication of expectations and student interpretation of those expectations, we can contribute to graduate attribute research that thoroughly explores student skill development.
This gap has implications on assessment when students are evaluated on skill sets that are not explicitly stated on the course syllabi due to variations in syllabi design or a lack of understanding of where those skills should be taught (i.e. in class or outside of class time). Also, by conducting collaborative research across different units, we believe we can identify gaps in the service delivery of academic support staff, and can recommend and establish more opportunities for academic support staff to communicate with faculty regarding skill support, thereby encouraging collaborations across units that support teaching and learning.
Throughout this showcase, we will present a brief introduction to our research project and offer initial interpretations of our data. We will also demonstrate the implications of our research for those who support faculty in communicating and teaching required skill sets. After a brief presentation of the research project, participants will be invited to comment on or ask questions about our initial findings and proposed recommendations.
this is a presentation slide for conducting research on the university level. this would be useful to the students and instructors of faculty of education.

The Art of Research: Using the power of images to increase the value of the D...InSites Consulting
DIESEL recognizes the need for social currency among today's increasingly digitalized Generation Y and is focusing its efforts on Pinterest as the ideal location to inspire and connect with females within their desired target demographic. DIESEL is known for tapping into subcultures with self-aware marketing, which is also the case on Pinterest. The platform allows DIESEL to build a unique look and feel by making it easy for them to bring the personality and DNA of the brand in an accessible magazine-like online display.
As a fashion company, DIESEL can use Pinterest as a brand-building exercise where they can tell the brand story, showcase DIESEL’s many facets, display individual collections and campaigns and where anyone can learn what the brand stands for. DIESEL launched its Pinterest page in the early days of the platform. Over the last year, they maintained their boards merely as a mirror of their Facebook content. The strategy was to showcase their collection as a lifestyle brand.
Early 2013, the growing popularity of the platform brought Pinterest into strategic focus in its own right. Additionally, considering DIESEL’s strategic decision to augment its focus on communicating with women and the fact that Pinterest is more used by women, DIESEL wanted to focus its efforts on Pinterest to use it as a valuable communication channel to connect with this female target group online. In order to optimize the platform for brand activation, instead of a repository of Facebook content, there was a strong need for insights on the best digital strategy for the DIESEL Pinterest page.

Foundations for sustaining learning-centered practicesStephen C. Ehrmann
Learning-centered practices such as learning communities, capstone courses, studio courses, ePortfolio initiatives and service learning have remained at the margins, sparkling and fading over the years. In addition to developing such practices directly, institutions of higher education need also to promote conditions that will allow learning-centered education to flourish and become the new normal. This presentation at the 2015 Lilly Conference in Bethesda MD outlined seven such foundations, ranging from specific kinds of leadership to specific kinds of support services. The session, lasting 75 minutes, was highly interactive and the slides include some notes taken during the session, in blue.
This slide show discusses the major elements of differentiation, with a focus on the different types of student data. Accompanying handouts are not included in this set of slides.
It explains about the material evaluation, learning/study materials, objectives of evaluation, need or requirement of evaluation, steps involved in it, results, formative and summative evaluation, benefits of evaluating the learning material.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Documenting Teaching Effectiveness: Sources of Data
Instructor Self Assessment – your perceptions of your teaching1
• Course Portfolio – developmental, what you want to think about/know more about2
• Teaching Portfolio – evaluative, what reviewers want to know/assess3
• Teaching Journal – critically reflective teacher/teaching4
• Expanded Teaching Philosophy – to serve as reflective introduction to dossier
Student Perceptions – student perceptions of your teaching
• Midterm / Early term student feedback
• End-of-Term Student Ratings of Teaching
• On-going collection of in-class feedback through short evaluation surveys (eg, new assignments, use of
readings, delivery of class session; Likert & open ended)
• Critical Incident Questionnaire
o At what point in class this week did you feel most engaged with what was happening?
o At what point in class this week did you feel most distanced from what was happening?
o What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class did you find most affirming & helpful?
o What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class did you did most puzzling or confusing?
o What about class this week surprised you the most? (From your own reactions to what went on, to
something that someone did, or to anything else that occurs to you as you write now.)
Student Learning – student perceptions of learning as a result of teaching
• Student Feedback through Consensus5
• Develop Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) to gather student perceptions of their own
learning and of teaching effectiveness related to particular practices recurring in class sessions,
across a new segment/unit in course, in activities or assignments (eg, interactive lecture technique,
coherence of lecture notes across a new segment of course, use of peer response groups, on
grading practices/rubric, on use of suggested resources)
• Evidence of student achievement (national exams/benchmark outcomes, grad school placement,
thesis completion, student retention/completion; UROP)
• Localize National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) benchmarks such as use of high impact
activities that "require that students engage in substantive matters while actively interacting and
collaborating with faculty and their peers"
• Develop measures that allow for addressing and analyzing particular forms of resistance to learning
and for aligning student/teacher expectations – consider whether students expect that you will
address, for example, race, class, sexuality in your course? expect that engaged learning will be the
norm for this course? expect to write even if this is not a writing intensive course?
Documenting Evidence of Teaching / Page 1
2. Peer / Colleague Review – peer perceptions of your teaching / learning
• Classroom observation – teaching peers, cohort faculty
• Lesson Study Project (http://www.uwlax.edu/sotl/lsp/)
• Review of instructional materials; syllabus, assignments, exams (Peer Review Project:
www.courseportfolio.org/)
• Review of innovative uses of technology; contributions to distance learning
• Review of engaged pedagogies/approaches to non-traditional students' and learning (eg, service
learning, study abroad, multicultural teaching and learning)
• Mentoring activities – whether being a mentor or a mentee
• Development of teaching- and/or learning-related workshop for peers
• Peer-reviewed teaching/learning article accepted or grant accepted
Teaching / Learning Resources – research-based perceptions of learning
• Engagement with disciplinary journals related to teaching, from course design to assessment of
courses, teaching and learning (eg, incorporation into teaching approach, formation of journal club,
participation in learning community)
• Pursuit of a teaching-related research question to address via Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
• Participation in faculty professional development programming (eg, career programs, New Faculty
Orientation, teaching with writing or technology workshops, multicultural teaching and learning
fellowships/ research programs)
Administrative Perspective – perceptions of teaching role & excellence
• Dossier Requirements/Data to Document Administrative Guidelines (as set by department, college
and/or university-wide policy)
• Evaluative Teaching Portfolios
• Data from curriculum assessment

Summarizing by Graphic Displays
Assemble graphs with an explanation: include number of students, dates the courses were taught, qualities
that are being evaluated. A main feature of graphs is that they should be clear, not cluttered. Depending on
your audience, include all courses taught over a certain period of time (promotion and tenure purposes) or only
a select number (applying for a faculty job) in order to showcase the courses you've actually designed. Either
way, it will be important to describe which courses you've chosen to include and why. See impage on next

3. Plotting Means of Course Evaluations
At the Center for Teaching Effectiveness we have found it useful to plot the progress of teaching in a given
course over several semesters. By laying out general items along a time line, a professor can document trends
in student evaluations. If a single data point is out of line, its impact is lessened by the overview, and the
professor may choose to discuss factors in that particular semester that could have contributed to the
deviation. http://www.utexas.edu/academic/cte/teachfolio.html:
Analyzing Written Comments
Matrix: Laying out a matrix grouping written comments according to the overall course rating given by
each student evaluator provides a context for the comments. An instructor can see what kinds of
comments were made by students who were in general satisfied with the course, and what kind were
made by those who were dissatisfied.. This analysis of written comments sometimes helps to explain
certain positive or negative comments, which might be confided to a small subset of a course. See
matrix image on next page. Credit: http://www.utexas.edu/academic/cte/teachfolio.html.
Documenting Evidence of Teaching / Page 3
4. Summary of Student Feedback with Reflection: Jane Doe / Linguistics
At the end of each quarter, students fill out an Evaluation of Instruction Report. They are asked to rate
aspects of both the course and the instructor using a Likert-type scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). The overall
rating at the end of my first quarter teaching was 4.2; at the end of my second quarter, this rose slightly to 4.3
More informative evidence came from students’ written evaluations. In evaluating my first quarter of
teaching, student comments were generally favorable, though they sensed my lack of experience as a
teacher. This was not mentioned after my second quarter of teaching, as I felt more comfortable with both the
course content and with leading a classroom. Some students were rather impressed that I learned
everyone’s name quickly – not a frequent occurrence at a large state university. A notable aspect of my
teaching was that I encouraged them to argue against some of the theories presented. One student
described this as “encouraging them to express their own thoughts and feelings.” Other aspects of my
teaching that they praise are that I am well-organized, I pay attention to students’ needs and spend extra
time helping them when necessary, and I foster a relaxed learning environment in class.
Students' main suggestion for improvement was to incorporate more classroom activities. This
corresponds to what I have been learning in professional development workshops: students can have a
richer learning experience when they are engaged in the process. Incorporating activities such as
demonstrations of experiments, videos, and small-group discussions would accomplish several goals. It
would break up the long class time (typically 1 hour, 48 minutes), preventing students from losing attention,
and it would provide opportunities for students to work with the material presented in class in a variety of
ways. (Last 3 examples from http://ftad.osu.edu/portfolio/.)
