Join us for a FREE webinar on using CALI LessonLink to make formative assessment easier to administer.

This webinar explains how CALI LessonLink can make formative assessment easier to administer and more effective. “Starting with the end in mind” means clarifying how learning outcomes relate to formative assessment before data is gathered and analyzed. To use LessonLink, an instructor assigns a CALI lesson, then students click through the link to access the lesson. CALI captures score and interaction data the instructor can download after students finish. The hard part of this process is not data analysis, it’s articulating how learning outcome and formative assessment relate so that data analysis provides helpful insights to instructors and students.

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Attendees will be able articulate measurable relationships between learning outcomes and formative assessment tools.
  2. Attendees will be able to download CALI LessonLink data and analyze it in Excel.
  3. Attendees will be able to generate suggestions for improving instructor teaching and student learning after analyzing CALI LessonLink data.

Resources Available for Upper-Level Courses - Gender Orientation

This Chapter is an excellent resource that can be applied to upper-level gender orientation courses. The Chapter will address the current protections that are available to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) individuals who allege they have been victims of employment discrimination. The Chapter’s primary focus will be on federal statutory law, particularly Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Although the focus here is on federal law, Appendix I to this Chapter lists the states that protect individuals from public and/or private discrimination under state laws.
