Applied learning research support services and resources such as survey/rubric design, video observations, consent forms, and umbrella IRB will be shared.
Date: Friday, January 28
Time: 1:00-2:15 p.m.

Gathering Early Semester Feedback
Research indicates that ongoing formative feedback from students and colleagues is the best way to improve teaching (National Research Council, 2003). Early semester feedback offers an opportunity to collect detailed information from students about how well your course is working. During this workshop participants will discuss the value of early semester feedback and review sample feedback forms. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm possible questions and begin crafting their own feedback forms.
Date: Tuesday, February 1
Time: 3:30-4:45 p.m.
Presenters: Kristi Rudenga, Director of ND Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
