Course Improvement Flowchart (with examples)
Course Improvement Flowchart (blank)
This presentation will focus on student engagement and evaluation of teaching. While some argue that university teachers should not have to focus on ‘engaging' students in lectures, I will address this issue and provide a rationale for, and examples of, strategies I use to successfully engage students in mass lectures. Additionally, despite the various methods and opportunities for evaluation of university teaching, a lack of understanding of the processes, measures and value are some of the major impediments to effective evaluation. I will describe an instrument to document both the evaluative process and evaluative outcomes. The Course Improvement Flowchart allows the documentation of key recommendations emanating from multiple sources of feedback so that a proactive statement of intent or action plan for teaching improvement is written. These strategies have been successfully used to improve student outcomes and enable more satisfying and rewarding teaching experiences.
