Improving Teaching, Learning, and Assessment by Making Evidence of Achievement Transparent. Occasional Paper #25
Eubanks, David; Gliem, David
National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment
Technology can change higher education by empowering students to make an impact on the world as undergraduates. Done systematically, this would allow institutions to close the credibility gap with an increasingly dubious public. Authentic student achievements that are addressed to a "real world" audience can lead to richly detailed "Resume 2.0" portfolios of work that add value to degrees and the granting institutions. A guide is provided for implementation of new high-impact practices, including structured assignment creation.
