From Stationary to Stacked: Assessing Modular Content

From Stationary to Stacked: Assessing Modular Content

January 19, 2022

1:00PM to 2:00PM Eastern Time

Via Zoom

Modular learning, or the “unbundling” of curriculum from traditional course and degree structures holds great promise, as it allows learners to customize and focus their learning experiences according to their career and personal needs. For faculty shifting from full term curriculum to stacked modules, challenges can include revising current and/or targeting appropriate course learning outcomes, building in meaningful formative assessment, and implementing direct, summative assessment measures for a very short period of online instruction. This webinar will present lessons learned from a modular course initiative recently piloted at Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, including key considerations and challenges that must be addressed when assessing short, modular courses delivered entirely online.

Presenters: 

Mamta Saxena, Assistant Dean, Academic Quality & Assessment,

College of Professional Studies, Northeastern University

Susan Gracia, Educational Assessment, Analytics & Evaluation Consultant

Cost:  this event is free for NEean members, and costs $15 for non-members.
