Assessment of Student Learning

2014 Institute

The 2014 Institute focused on practical classroom assessment techniques and will include workshop tracks on first-year student retention, online courses, and transfer student issues.

Keynote: Authentic Assessment of Online Learning
Melissa Mallon, Assistant Professor and Coordinator for Library Instruction, Wichita State University
Megan Mallon, lead technology teacher and pre-service teacher supervisor, Manhattan, KS

Are you tired of grading boring online discussion posts where students all respond to the material in the same way? Are your students craving meaningful lessons that are worthwhile and relevant? The keynote session will cover authentic learning activities to engage and challenge students online in a variety of disciplines. It will also provide practical uses of social media and other educational technologies that require students to demonstrate learning while reducing the grading burden.

Friday, November 14
9am - 3pm

Hosted by Kansas State University Office of Assessment and Teaching & Learning Center
