Un acquis d’apprentissage visé (AAV – Intended Learning Outcome) décrit de manière précise ce qu’un apprenant devrait être capable de « faire » à l’issue de tout ou partie d’un parcours d’apprentissage (de formation).
Que ce soit lors de l’examen des acquis d’apprentissage visés par (une partie d’) un programme de formation ou lors de la construction de la liste de ces acquis, il est utile de pouvoir formuler un diagnostic aussi objectif que possible afin de s’assurer de la qualité de la liste d’acquis et de déceler les éventuels points d’amélioration.
Nous présentons des grilles critériées (« rubric ») pour évaluer une liste d’acquis d’apprentissage visés par un dispositif. Les grilles proposées sont très largement inspirée d’une grille utilisée par un grand nombre d’universités américaines (cfr. https://www.wscuc.org/).

This workbook forms the basis of a Professional Graduate Certificate Module in Assessment.It offers a comprehensive collection of materials and activities in the realm of assessment.Please note: supplemental worksheets to accompany this are also available.

This workbook provides a 'how to' guide to developing effective curriculum session design. It offers activities and planning tools to enable the end user to review, design and complete their own teaching plans.

We identified open pedagogy projects from various resources (ex. Listservs, books, websites, etc.). Reading through the open pedagogy project, we focused on learning outcomes the students had to accomplish that were not related to the subject matter of the project, but rather the communication and soft skills that often go unnoticed. We used these resources to build these learning outcomes. Additionally, we leaned on the vocabulary from Bloom’s taxonomy and the SMART framework for actionable outcomes.

On this site, you will find an entry for each open pedagogy project that includes a title, a short description, a link, and the learning outcomes we assigned to it. We also created a common list of learning outcomes that are hyperlinked to each project entry, so that this resource is browsable for various skills and competencies.

We invite professionals to contribute to this growing resource. Anyone can submit a resource by emailing us a completed template and we will add it and hyperlink to the list of learning outcomes on the site.

This Handbook describes an action research process for assessing student learning outcomes using faculty-led communities of practice.

Post-secondary institutions are often called to identify strengths and areas for improvement, to implement changes, and assess the impact of those changes — colloquially known as “closing the loop” or “closed-loop assessment”. While institutions aspire to close the loop, little evidence exists that their aspirations are fulfilled. Closing the loop requires a well-articulated, detailed, and reflexive process. If successfully implemented, this process can increase the likelihood of improved student outcomes. Post-secondary institutions collect a plethora of direct and indirect student learning data and are increasingly reporting out on assessment findings; however, they frequently stop short of acting on the results gathered and then evaluating interventions that are implemented.

SAIL responds to the call to “close the loop”.

The SAIL Practitioner Handbook is based on our experience at Thompson Rivers University—an open access, teaching and research university located in the interior of British Columbia. The methodology, process, and resources described in this Handbook are designed with the local context in mind. We encourage you to borrow and adapt our methodology to develop a process that best fits your institution’s needs. The primary audience for the SAIL Practitioner Handbook is quality assurance practitioners and educational developers.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a selection of strategies and factors that are directly relevant to STEM educators in a University setting. Selections of topics were based on strength of existing evidence and ease of implementation. This is not an exhaustive list and instead aims to provide you with a concise selection that can be integrated with your existing practices
