LAWRENCE Nine University of Kansas faculty members were recently recognized for their innovative work in improving student learning.
They shared their work Jan. 26 at the 2021 Student Learning Symposium, hosted by the Center for Teaching Excellence. The symposium focuses on effective approaches to assessing student understanding and skill development as a means of improving courses and curricula. Nearly 100 KU faculty and staff members joined this year’s virtual sessions.
Joshua Potter, CTE’s documenting learning specialist, praised the extensive work instructors put into their teaching over the past year.
“COVID forced many faculty members into online or remote environments for the first time in their careers,” Potter said. “Many of them went to great lengths to redesign and create new assessment methods and instruments. This year’s honorees provide great examples that other faculty and departments can draw on in the years ahead.”
