Outcomes-Based Assessment of Faculty Development

This session will demonstrate how faculty development activities can be designed to produce electronically archivable products or outputs that provide evidence of the impact of specific faculty development activities on teaching and learning. We will present four examples of outcomes-based assessment that use the LMS, e portfolios, e-posters, and student achievement data to document short- and long-term outcomes of faculty learning communities and summer teaching institute workshops. Participants will have the opportunity to share their faculty development programs and brainstorm a plan for outcomes-based assessment.

OUTCOMES: Learn how to use technology to organize and archive measurable outcomes of faculty development * Analyze and present outcomes-based assessment data * Explore "backward design" faculty development activities to create artifacts for outcomes-based assessment
