Understanding Assessment
Swamped with endless grading? Confused about rubrics? Wondering what
you should be assessing and the best way to do so? We are looking
for Faculty Learning Community members who are motivated about
studying and measuring student learning in an interactive, dynamic,
collegial community throughout the year.

Idea Exchange for Instructional Design in Online and Hybrid
Courses
This Faculty Learning Community will explore the challenges and
opportunities that online instruction presents. Resulting in
instructional design assistance to faculty and staff who teach
online. This opportunity will have participants looking more deeply
at different components of online course instructional design. We
have many veteran online instructors on campus, so this peer sharing
opportunity with fellow online instructors and those who would like
to teach online and blended courses would be a benefit to anyone
wanting to more effectively use D2L.

strategies to measure student success, please consider participating
