60-Minute Recording of Audio Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast February 13, 2008 • $199 Many instructors view assessing student learning as a chore. They believe that assessment interferes with teaching, and that it’s just something they need to do to satisfy the accreditation powers that be. But when done well, assessment engages and invigorates learners. This seminar will look at how you can use assessment in both small and large classrooms to create motivating learning experiences. We will explore how assessment activities can be used in pre-and post-learning situations and how you can get learner buy-in to these activities. The ideas presented will work in both large and small classes. Dr. Peter Saunders, director of Oregon State University’s Center for Teaching and Learning, will explore how you can create an assessment plan in less than 30 minutes and individualize it for each of your classes. Knowledge benefits for you: Who can benefit from hearing this seminar: Master the Art of College Teaching Magna's new series, “Mastering the Art of College Teaching,” tackles the three aspects of college teaching that instructors find the most challenging: These seminars will benefit any instructor—new or experienced—who wishes to improve his or her teaching skills as well as enhance student learning.
