Event Date & Time
Event Description
This event is part of the CTLT Winter Institute, taking place from December 9—11, 2024.
Online
While professors work hard to formulate clear and specific learning outcomes (LOs) for their courses, assignments and tests are typically not setup for teachers and learners to adequately monitor the fulfilment of course/program learning outcomes. For accredited programs, detailed demonstrable competencies are required for completion. In this context, the Canvas Outcomes tool and has the potential to become a particularly useful pedagogical resource for educators and learners to identify knowledge skill gaps or skill deficiencies in learning outcome fulfillment.
Join us in this workshop to learn how to link learning objectives with specific assignment questions and rubrics in Canvas, resulting in an individual Learning Mastery Gradebook for each student. This supports student and instructor wellbeing by providing updated feedback throughout the term on how students are progressing toward the course/program learning objectives and allow instructors to make practical adjustments to their lesson plans if necessary.
In this workshop we will:
- Provide step-by-step instructions for the implementation of the Canvas Outcomes tool and its Learning Mastery Gradebook
- Share lessons learned from our experience with Canvas Outcomes in an undergraduate course
- List the limitations of Canvas Outcomes and share tips for overcoming them
Facilitators:
- Andres Verhola, Program Director of Forest Management and Forest Operations programs, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Department of Forest Resources Management, UBCV
