Description

How can we keep students engaged and focused on learning in the online environment? How do we ensure student progress toward our learning outcomes now that we are all online? Like our students, we are adjusting to the events unfolding in our world, and these sudden changes are impacting everyone. Our goal is to be flexible to student challenges while ensuring the integrity of our courses, so we still need to be thinking about ways to assess student learning. How are you adapting your assignments and assessments to meet students’ needs for flexibility … while still ensuring that students are learning?

For this Bring Your Best Idea session, we will virtually crowdsource your best ideas for maintaining and assessing student learning outcomes online in this lively, collaborative, and fast-paced sharing session. At the beginning of the session, participants will write a brief description of a problem or a strategy related to the theme in the chat box. Then, anyone who has an idea to share with the whole group will have one minute to elaborate on it. Whether or not you bring an idea to share, you’ll leave this session with new food for thought and several new ideas you might try in your own course.

Please click “Going” below to reserve your seat for this session and we will send you a Google calendar invitation with a WebEx link one hour before the session. If you register less than an hour before the session, you will receive the WebEx link when you register. Please email fdc@umbc.edu if you have any questions.
