Often a primary challenge with instruction is identifying the effectiveness of one’s teaching on a day-to-day basis.  Formative approaches can remedy this by allowing us to identify the strengths and gaps in our efforts to educate our students in real-time, while instruction is fresh in students’ minds.  This session will introduce attendees to using the Campus Labs Feedback Formative Assessment Tool and Student Response System in order to receive real-time feedback on instruction and teaching practices as well as capturing direct and indirect measures of student learning.

When: April 26, 11:00-12:30 PM

Where: Drexel Library Instruction Lab

Portfolios, interviews, focus groups, and observations are just a few of many data collection approaches used in qualitative assessment, but analyzing and sharing that data in a way that leverages technology can be challenging.  This session will outline acceptable standards of rigor for qualitative assessments and explore the steps involved in general qualitative data analysis and interpretation. After building a foundation in qualitative assessment, the session will offer steps you can take to organize your data into themes and effectively share the data with various audiences.
