19­20 THE COLLABORATION'S CONFERENCE ON
"ASSESSMENT FOR THE CHANGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT"
Bloomington, Minnesota
www.collab.org
Today, as institutions closely scrutinize the return from ever more limited
resources, assessment of student learning and educational programs is more
critical than ever. The Collaboration's winter conference, which will explore
what individual faculty and staff can do to foster their own continuous learning
and development as teaching professionals and how colleges, universities, and
other groups strive to create environments that characterize learning
organizations. The conference will examine how teaching and student learning
have improved from these practices, as witnessed by experts such as:
* L. Dee Fink, a nationally­recognized expert on college teaching and faculty
development. Fink has a doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1976. In
1979, he founded the Instructional Development Program at the University of
Oklahoma and served as its director until his retirement from Oklahoma in May
2005. He was president of the POD Network (Professional and Organizational
Development) in Higher Education (2004­2005), the primary professional
organization for faculty developers. At the present time he works as a national
consultant in higher education and the author of Creating Significant Learning
Experiences: An Integrated Approach to Designing College Courses (Jossey­Bass,
2003) and co­editor of Team­Based Learning: A Transformative Use of Small
Groups in College Teaching (Stylus, 2004).
* Peggy Maki, a consultant with Peggy Maki Consulting. Maki will a
preconference session on "Planning Assessment Backwards to Dive Deeper into
Pedagogy" and a closing session on "Options for Technology­Based Assessment:
Current and Emerging Possibilities."
* A rich assortment of presenters of nearly 30 preconference and concurrent
sessions on creating a culture of assessment, technology, rubrics and other
assessment tools, collaboration, and other topics.
