Presentation Description

How do you know if the students in your class have actually learned anything? Are you relying on survey questions which are designed to gauge your performance to tell you whether learning outcomes are being met? Librarians who already use active learning exercises as part of their instruction toolkit can transform some of those exercises in authentic assessment tools, intended to measure class performance.
