Supporting Community Engaged Learning Course Assessment

Event Date & Time

  • January 16, 2020
    10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Event Description

In this workshop, we will show TAs how to support evaluation work in a Community Engaged Learning course. We will walk them through a set of guidelines to conceptualize, implement and evaluate students’ community engaged learning (CEL) in courses. With the use of different interactive activities, we will help TAs to get a better understanding of how to play with course goals, learning objectives, and assessment criteria in order to design/find the most appropriate assessment tools. We will also introduce a range of CEL assessment tools developed by the Centre for Community Engaged Learning.
