Enhancing the Teaching & Learning Experience
At the Academic Commons, we support both the learner and the educator, knowing that often these roles intersect and overlap. With a grounding in evidence-based teaching practices, we help develop and support inspired instructors dedicated to student engagement and success. We assist at every step, from building course syllabi, mapping curriculum, and discovering new teaching tools, to assessment, scholarship, and publishing.
Learn how to use formative assessments to uncover and address student misconceptions at the "Navigating Student Learning with Formative Assessment" workshop on Wednesday, February 19. Explore techniques to design assessments that reveal student thinking, learn to analyze results for patterns of misunderstanding, and develop targeted interventions to correct misconceptions.
