Module 3

INTRODUCTION

Social Learning Collaborations Rock!

Networking and collaborating with faculty peers on assessment activities are valued at Emporia State University. It is common for faculty to come together to design program curricula, implement assessment activities, and employ policy and procedures relevant to academic excellence. Engaged social learning is a great way to meet and collaborate with peers while learning about curriculum design, policy, and course assessment practices. Understanding and using social media and collaborative tools to design, plan, and implement assessment practices benefit all delivery modalities.

Module Objectives

In Module 3, the primary objective is to introduce new faculty to an integrative learning rubric and use social learning tools to collectively evaluate and edit the rubric to meet their course assessment needs. The secondary objectives include gaining knowledge about how integrative learning transcends both the general education and major degree program curricula. This knowledge complements our prior learning about how a single course contributes in multiple ways to the entirety of the educational experience.

Module Outcomes

Upon completion of this module, faculty will be able to:

• use a shared Google document to evaluate and edit the AAC&U integrative learning value rubric

• use the zoom collaboration tool to fine tune the integrative learning rubric to meet faculty needs
