SCEC Discovery Series - Online Assessment of Student Learning All UND faculty are invited and encouraged to attend the upcoming Senate Continuing Education Committee-sponsored Discovery Series event, “Online Assessment of Student Learning,” from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, in the Swanson Hall, Room 10/12 (Please make note of new location). Distance education is a creative and exciting teaching environment. When building a new online course, one difficulty that often impedes faculty is how to effectively evaluate an online student. To help solve the challenges of quality assessment and evaluation, a multi-discipline faculty panel who currently teach online at UND, will discuss different tips and techniques used to judge student learning. Pitfalls and academic dishonesty will also be explored. A question and answer session will follow the presentations. Faculty will demonstrate how they have implemented hybrid-blended learning modes that serve students on and off-campus while preserving the power of face-to-face instruction. No registration is required. To reserve a box lunch, call 777-3231, or e-mail adminserv@mail.und.edu by Friday, April 10. For more information about the session itself, contact Ruth Paur, at ruthpaur@medicine.nodak.edu, or 777-2651. -- Ruth Paur, Assistant Professor, Pathology, ruthpaur@medicine.nodak.edu, 777-2651
