Building a foundation for effective cocurricular assessment
What To Expect
Cocurricular activities play a crucial role in enhancing student learning, yet many institutions struggle with effectively assessing their impact. At the University of North Dakota (UND), unclear processes and ineffective assessments turned this vital work into a mere checkbox exercise that failed to provide meaningful insights or improve student outcomes.
Recognizing the need for change, they embarked on a mission to overhaul how they approached cocurricular assessment.
See how UND collaborated to define what constitutes a cocurricular experience, identified shared student learning outcomes (SLOs), and developed a sustainable plan for continuous improvement.
Why you should attend:
- Gain new insights into the collaborative process of defining cocurricular experiences.
- Explore potential challenges and promising practices when implementing new processes for documenting and assessing cocurricular learning outcomes.
- And more!
