Facilitated by: Karen Wong & Christine Case

Description:

In addition to meeting students where they are, being a student-centered institution means equipping students with the skills to articulate what they're learning, apply their learning in authentic contexts, and make connections between their courses and the intended Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs) for all Skyline College graduates.


Join us to explore models of assignments that center student learning, use a tool to review one of your own assignments, and learn about a mini-grant opportunity to pilot the assessment of this assignment using Canvas.

This workshop is an introduction to authentic assessment and aligning assessment with outcomes. Combined with other workshops in this series, it will empower you and your program to participate in the assessment of each year's featured ISLO, which will be expected of degree-bearing programs beginning in Fall 2022.

Facilitated by: Dr. Chris Collins and Dr. Bianca Rowden-Quince

Description:

For most, this is not your first time teaching, but for many this is the first time teaching in the hybrid modality. A hybrid course is much more than an online class with a weekly face-to-face session thrown in for good measure. A hybrid course provides an opportunity to intentionally design and select the best environment to facilitate course content, construct knowledge, and engage in critical thinking. In this training we discuss how to effectively facilitate a course in the hybrid format utilizing best practices and student ready strategies.
