Her students are asked to create a web page that demonstrates
proficiency of a particular concept in the class. This is the basis for the web page. Why might this be important
to faculty? Her students create a simple web page, which they use as a
springboard to a portfolio, or a homework page for parents or just a way to
store forms that they use with parents or for their class all the time. The
students are happy with the result usually.
14.
Starting an Interdisciplinary Peer to Peer Program
for Improved Student Learning
Presenters: T. Mark Morey
& William Bosch
10:45-12:00 34A Lanigan Hall (CELT)
Do you want your students
to learn more effectively? Do you want
to help colleagues in other departments to better facilitate their students'
learning? Here is a chance to make a
difference. The general goal is to
start this spring semester with several small teams (of two or three faculty)
reciprocally visiting and providing mentoring feedback relevant to improved
student learning. As envisioned now,
the peer to peer program would entail an orientation/training session near the
start of the spring semester, perhaps a mid-term feedback session, and a final
feedback session at the end of the semester.
Participating peer-mentoring faculty would agree to visit each other's
classes (one or more times?) and provide structured oral feedback on relevant
student-learning matters.
Our goal for this Winter
Breakout session is to create an initial structure for the program and begin
enlisting participants into peer-mentoring teams. A philosophy and set of suggested guidelines will be presented as
initial grist for a round table discussion among those attending this breakout
session.
15. Brick & Click: Spreadsheets for a Large
Lecture Class
Presenter: Larry Fuller
1:00-2:00 34A
Lanigan Hall (CELT)
Have you ever taught a
large lecture class and find that keeping a grade book is a pain? Well, I obtain my class list and computer
scored exam results in "electronic form" as email from our
Administrative Computer Center. From
these emailed attachments, I'm able to import them into my Excel '97
spreadsheet using Excel's readily available functions.
This workshop will
demonstrate the process of parsing a text file into a spreadsheet, along with
how to electronically enter a test score without ever picking up a pencil!
And of course, there are
several methods to obtain/transfer data with the various email clients such as
PINE, Eudora, Pegasus, Microsoft Mail or Outlook 98. Any of these software programs will allow you to gain access to
your data through a telephone, ADI box, or direct network connection. Time permitting; we will explore some of
these programs.
16. Brick & Click: A Grading and Reporting
Program
Presenter: Robert J. Irwin
2:00-3:00 34A
Lanigan Hall (CELT)
One way to keep students
up-to-date on their progress, and their standing with respect to their
classmates, is to email each student an individual grade report each time new
grades are recorded. We'll present a
simple, but useful program to do just this.
Reports sent to students list individual grades for all graded work to
date, and provide averages for
grades within categories
(e.g., homework, quizzes and exams), the weighted average over grades of all
types, and current class rank. A
summary report is emailed to the instructor.
Instructors can affix the contents of a text file to each student's
report, a straightforward way of sharing comments with the class.
