How Student Learning Outcomes Can Strengthen Teaching and Learning

Speaker: Barbara J. Millis, Director, The Teaching & Learning Center, The University of Texas at San Antonio.

This interactive workshop will focus on student learning outcomes within the broader context of effective course design. The workshop content and activities will emphasize how clearly articulating learning outcomes is a very practical way of informing course design and how to assess student learning most effectively. Clearly stating course learning outcomes insures purposeful teaching and helps students understand the meaning, relevance, and “connectedness” of the courses they are taking.
