CATL Workshop – Creating “transparent” assignments to enhance student learning
Wednesday, February 24th, 12:15-1:30 p.m.
Belk Pavilion 208
A recent international study of 25,000 students at 27 institutions suggests that making the process of teaching and learning explicit, or “transparent,” can lead to beneficial results for both high-achieving and underserved students. In particular, the study points to the importance of transparent assignment design. During this interactive session, we’ll discuss and apply the three simple principles outlined in the study to an assignment you’d like to improve or develop for a course. Then, participants will engage in feedback rounds and leave with ideas for ways to continue to improve or refine an assignment. Bring an assignment you would like to improve or a new assignment you’d like to develop with feedback from colleagues.
