This project represents the first college-wide review of student capstone projects across the curriculum in addition to examining impact of instruction on information fluency skills. Two of our analysis areas, evaluation of sources and communication of evidence, connect to three goals of our campus Statement of Student Learning: demonstrate intellectual depth and breadth, think critically and analyze effectively, and communicate effectively.
This project allows us to share information with faculty about the impact of librarian-led instruction on student competencies in a data-driven manner, using student work artifacts directly relevant to the academic departments.
Our team included campus leaders in assessment. Our librarian coordinator for student learning assessment lead the team which included our Associate Dean of Faculty and Associate Professor (Psychology), the Director of Institutional Research, our Campus Assessment Facilitator, and our Institutional Research Associate.
