Using Needs Assessment as a Holistic Means for Improving Technology Infrastructure

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using Needs Assessment as a Holistic Means for Improving Technology Infrastructure (ID: ELI3012)
Author(s):Joni E. Spurlin (North Carolina State University)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, White Papers (06/20/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This paper describes a four-step needs assessment process that institutions can use to determine the gaps between current and desired states of technology infrastructure, facilitating rapid decision making. The framework described focuses on aligning learning outcomes and technology tools and can help institutions compare the current state of technology infrastructure with a desired state to best meet identified learning outcomes.

Author(s):Joni E. Spurlin (North Carolina State University)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, White Papers (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Asking whether technology improves learning may seem straightforward, but the answer is not simple. The challenge begins with defining assessment and is compounded by the complexities of people, technology, and educational organizations. This paper clarifies technology assessment by exploring the definitions, methods, and realistic expectations it can address.

ELI Innovations & Implementations - Calibrated Peer Review: A Writing and Critical-Thinking Instructional Tool
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:ELI Innovations & Implementations - Calibrated Peer Review: A Writing and Critical-Thinking Instructional Tool (ID: ELI5002)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) is a Web-based program that allows instructors to incorporate frequent writing assignments into their courses, regardless of class size, without increasing their grading workload. Students are trained to be competent reviewers and provide classmates with personalized feedback on writing assignments. The CPR system manages the entire peer-review process, including assignment creation and submission, student reviewer training, and student input analysis. The tool suite is discipline-independent and supports a "writing-across-the-curriculum" approach. UCLA hosts CPR and makes it available free to participating institutions, who receive technical assistance from the development team via e-mail and a listserv. More than 500 institutions now use this free service, deploying it in 1,900+ courses that enroll more than 72,000 students.

ELI Innovations & Implementations - SCALE-UP: Student-Centered Activities for Large Enrollment Undergraduate Programs
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:ELI Innovations & Implementations - SCALE-UP: Student-Centered Activities for Large Enrollment Undergraduate Programs (ID: ELI5001)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:The SCALE-UP Project provides an effective and affordable model for introducing hands-on, team-based learning into large-enrollment undergraduate courses. SCALE-UP's approach to undergraduate education was first applied to introductory physics and chemistry courses at North Carolina State University in 1997. Since then, the model has been replicated at more than two dozen other institutions, including the University of Central Florida and MIT.
