1. This is a series of related topics on assessment.
Authentic Assessments: Overview Jan 11th, 12-1

When considering how to assess student learning in a course, most instructors would agree that the ideal assessment would be one that not only assesses students’ knowledge; it also teaches students and improves their skills and understanding of course content. An authentic assignment requires applying what students have learned to a new situation, and that demands judgment to determine what information and skills are relevant and how they should be used. This overview will discuss what is considered to be an authentic assessment, examples of what faculty are using, and demonstrate that authentic assessments don’t have to be more work for the instructor

than a multiple-choice test.

Authentic Assessments Workshop: Jan 15th, 10-12

Want to adopt or create an authentic assessment for your course. This workshop will be hands-on, and you will work in teams to walk away with an assignment that you can utilize next semester. By attending this workshop, faculty will walk away with assessments that can be

implemented, strategies to reduce time grading, and the confidence to try this new assessment type.

Course Design Basics:
Jan 14th, 12-1

This brief workshop will help you to organize your courses for the spring semester. During this

course, expect to walk away with tips and tricks on ensuring your course is easy to navigate for

students and is organized using evidence-based practices. This course will discuss how to self-

evaluate your course for continued course improvement.

Tracking Student Progress: Blackboard Analytics:
Jan 18th 12-1

Want to ensure that your students are accessing the content of your course to make sure they are successful in your class? This workshop will discuss strategies to help you track students’ progress through your class and how to use these analytics to support student retention or serve as an early warning system. By attending this workshop faculty will learn about statistic tracking in UB Learns, adaptive release functions, and how to utilize these analytics to help your students be successful in your course.

Streamlining Assessments:
Jan 25th, 12-1

Want to reduce your grading time but provide quality feedback for students? This workshop will provide you with strategies to help you think of new ways to grade students’ assessments without adding hours to your grading. By attending this workshop, faculty will learn about creating and

using existing rubrics and methods to break-up assignments to reduce your grading load.

2. The following series will be offered by Jessica Kruger and Derek Farkas from the School of Public Health and Health Professions.

Integrating UB Libraries’ People and Resources into Your Courses

# data[].attributes.body
1. This session could cover integrating UB Libraries librarians, Research Guides and Roadmaps into courses. Here is the link to Bb integration info and the Library Roadmaps , which includes a video on how to unpack the zip file and upload it to UBlearns.
2. Bryan Sajecki has been sent an email to host this session (and possibly a fellow Ed Services team member may also assist)
3. This can possibly be a short 1/2 hour session (or an hour if others think it would be helpful.)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Instruction librarians often come into a class and give one time, guest lectures on finding, evaluating, and integrating sources into a project or paper. The Research Roadmaps were designed to reinforce what the librarian covered or supplement when you are unable to schedule a guest lecture. The Roadmaps are tests with a "case study" feel. Students are presented with a research situation, asked to watch a brief video (under 2 minutes), and then answer a multiple choice question. The Roadmap can be uploaded to be included as a grade in your grade center or as a "complete".

There are currently three versions of the Research Roadmap. You can choose to download all three or the one most closely aligned to your course. The Roadmaps are Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and Public Health. Again, these are great tools to use alongside a library session. To book a librarian please complete the following form:
