Faculty often make course changes based on reasons other than data.
Intuition or student comments and satisfaction may be important
guides, but they dont tell how much a student is learning or whether
that learning transfers to other courses. This book makes the case
for the use of multiple, direct measures of student learning outcomes
data to enhance course development and guide meaningful course
revision and decision-making. Focusing on student learning as the
reason for course revision is essential. Meaningful Course Revision
is a practical guide for collecting information about how well
students are reaching your course goals, learning what impact your
changes are having on student learning, and putting your courses into
a cycle of continual revision and improvement. It will also benefit
your students and keep your teaching interesting, fresh, and
enjoyable. Contents include: Data-based decision-making Designing
course-based assessment activities Using data to enhance innovation
in course redesign Rethinking teaching and learning Embedding
assessment activities in meaningful ways Planning the course
Closing the feedback loop Moving from course-level decision-making
to departmental curriculum planning Creating a culture of student
learning outcomes assessment
