CNDLS CONSULTING & SERVICES
CNDLS offers a wide range of consulting services to faculty and graduate students to support teaching and technology. These include one-on-one consultations, departmental curriculum evaluation, disciplinary research, and course design and assessment. We also offer assistance in multimedia production, application development, statistical and spatial data analysis, database development and information exchange.
Course Design and Assessment
The course design process at CNDLS begins with an informal consultation about your course content, goals and challenges of the course, possible technologies to help meet those goals, and what you want your students to know and accomplish throughout the semester. From there, we will work with you to design and develop various aspects of your course, including student assessment and evaluation of your course changes.
Assessment strategies are
generally divided into course-level assessments (for individual
faculty) and program and department assessment and evaluation.
Some of the methods and techniques we suggest at the course level
are the Minute Paper, Think-Alouds, the Mid-Semester Group Feedback,
and custom surveys co-designed and delivered online through the Flashlight program.
CNDLS works with departments and programs that wish to learn more about student learning and the impact of their courses or curriculum. We typically collect data through focus groups, senior surveys or exit interviews, online department-wide surveys of students, curriculum maps, peer consultation, and performance-based formative and/or summative assessments. CNDLS and the department faculty then work together to analyze the assessment data and use the results to inform departmental curriculum revision efforts or decisions about effective program changes.
