This webinar will help instructors review and revise their course and session learning outcome statements to be effective, meaningful, and measurable and use them to guide instruction and learning. Participants will analyze examples of student learning outcome statements, write their own, and begin to complete a course map that articulates the alignment of their course learning outcome statements with learning activities and assessments.

The Center for Teaching and Learning is requesting proposals for Learning Environment Grants (LEG). These are grants for up to $25,000 per project that can be used to support the creation of innovative, engaging formal and informal learning environments for students. Proposals are due September 20, but you must submit a request for design assistance by June 28. See the LEG webpage for more information.

The Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success, our new institutional undergraduate learning outcomes, have replaced the Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs) and Principles of Co-Curricular Learning (PCLs). They are written with an active orientation, using student-facing language, and are applicable to all student-facing units. Administrators of all undergraduate programs, and instructors of general education courses and capstone courses, are expected to be among the first to map their learning outcomes to the profiles.
In this hands-on workshop, facilitators will provide a brief overview of the profiles, share examples of academic and co-curricular programs and courses that already have been mapped, and introduce tools, resources, and processes that participants can use to map their own learning outcomes. Participants are expected to bring copies of or have access to their own learning outcomes during the workshop so they can begin to map their program or course learning outcomes to the profiles. Ample time will be given for participants to engage in discussion and ask questions.

Rubrics make grading consistent and speedy, and increases transparency of assignments to students. Rubrics also make concrete a course’s and assignment’s learning objectives, which helps students become critical thinkers and to assess their own work. In this webinar, participants will learn basic principles to streamline the creation of effective rubrics and will think about ways to use rubric as a foundational element of a teaching and learning practice. Participants will evaluate and discuss the merits of sample rubrics.
