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.

Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices (ID: EDU06155)
Author(s):Phyllis Blumberg (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia) and JoAnn Gonzalez-Major (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Through the use of an online self-assessment rubric and supporting worksheets, faculty developers can guide faculty to incrementally change their teaching in five practice areas. Participants will use these materials to assess the learning-centered status of a course. We will also consider if all courses should be learner centered. We will discuss the various ways faculty developers can use self-assessment rubrics, and problems that can arise when administrators use formative evaluations as summative measures to make high-stakes decisions.

Abstract:

Asking whether technology improves learning may seem straightforward, but the answer is not simple.

This paper clarifies technology assessment by exploring the definitions, methods, and realistic expectations it can address.
