Managing a Portfolio of Experiential
Learning
Managing and
assessing experiential learning courses is challenging, because learning
is, in large part, unstructured, the expected learning outcomes
variable, and external community and industry clients are often
centrally involved. As a result, novel techniques need to be developed
to assess the value of such programs and to facilitate and administer
interaction among students, faculty and external participants. This
session will describe the experiences, tools used and lessons learned in
1) assessing student performance in multidisciplinary team-based,
experiential project courses at Lehigh University; and 2) in
implementing a software portal for linking students, faculty and
community at The University of Texas at Austin.

Utilizing Assurance of Learning to
Improve Graduate Programs
Assessment and curricula improvement are
linked, faculty-driven and continuous, and seek to answer three questions.
[1] Are programs teaching the essential skills and knowledge needed by
graduates to excel in the contemporary business world? [Relevance] [2] Are
curricula aligned such that course activities support the achievement of
learning objectives oriented on program and school learning goals consistent
with mission and core values? [Alignment] [3] Are students learning what our
curricula say they should and we claim they do? [Assurance] One presenter
will share how and why course-embedded assessment is an effective approach
to assurance of student learning and faculty evaluation of curriculum
alignment. The other presenter will discuss an approach to teaching that
promotes student learning that is both relevant and measurable.
