Gleaning Assessment and Evaluation Data from In-Class Learning Activities |

| Abstract:
The best and most informative assessments of learning are performance activities (in or out of the classroom) where students actively engage in tasks in which they apply their learning at the higher cognitive-behavior levels, such as “analysis”, “synthesis”, or “create.” The challenge for educators is in capturing valid and reliable data from learning activities to truly assess student learning, provide meaningful feedback, and inform institutional decisions. This round table will help participants find assessment data in the actual learning activities students engage in as they progress through a given course. Included in this session will be a concise review of current literature on this topic and an interactive discussion to help participants mine their own learning activities for meaningful assessment data.
