Session Type: Breakout Session

Benchmarking and collecting evidence of impact is important in any undertaking. In this respect, postsecondary teaching and learning presents a unique set of challenges and complexities, so the key is to identify those methods that will produce useful and actionable results. This session will consist of overviews of evaluation and research techniques and methods in three important domains in teaching and learning: online and blended learning, classrooms and learning spaces, and the LMS. We'll conclude the session with a discussion with our domain experts about the relative strengths of the approaches they presented and considerations with respect to implementing them.


Outcomes: Learn about evaluation and research methods in key teaching and learning domains * Discover new methods that will help you conduct evaluations at your campus * Understand how these methods could be used at your institution
