Upcoming Events

Assessment and Grading

On October 8th, the LTO will be hosting a workshop on assessment and grading. Student assessment must consider the objectives of the course, academic integrity, student diversity, information literacy, and the learning level of the students. While instructors regularly create assessments, they often find it difficult to create unique assessments that meet their course objectives. In this workshop participants will examine how to create assessments that meet course objectives and demonstrate student learning.

Student Engagement and Interaction Online: Tips, Strategies, and Tools

On October 11th, the quality of online courses is rooted in the effective and frequent interactions of students with faculty, students with peers, and students with content. Communication is therefore key in enhancing students’ engagement and success in online courses. In this workshop, we will explore effective teaching strategies through the use of discussion boards and web-based collaboration tools.
