Assessment and SoTL - Research

Abstract

Storytelling can be engaging as it is both personal and public. Assessment, on the other hand, is a word few dare to utter. Yet, when the two concepts are combined, deep meaning, vulnerability, and a focus on student learning emerges. This session engages participants in storytelling about teaching and learning as two professors tell the story of how they co-facilitated a SoTL Group focused on programmatic assessment at a mid-western university. Presenters will share their approach and research findings, and attendees will leave with strategies for implementing such work within their own research settings.
