Track Number:

Name(s): 
Gail G. Evans, San Franisco State University

 

This session will provide a brief multimedia case study from four perspectives: assessment, curricular innovation, academic technology, and student voices. We will demonstrate how San Francisco State University's strategic plan is woven into the University's WASC accreditation proposal. In addition, the presentation will focus on the strategic priority of social justice/diversity and its linkage to the baccalaureate learning outcomes, program outcomes, and course learning objectives and assessed through an ePortfolio. Additionally, we will examine the relationship of these outcomes to curricular innovation needed to meet the learning styles of the 21st Century student. We will also discuss the campus' academic technology initiative and how the use of ePortfolios enables the assessment of strategic priorities.

Participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups to discuss ideas for how learning outcomes might be utilized on their campuses as a framework for strategic planning, curricular design, and ePortfolio assessment. Ideas will be shared with all participants, and together we will review the ideas that emerge.
