Office for Assessment and Quality Enhancement at Texas Christian University. Prior to this, she worked as the director of the William H. Koehler Center for teaching Excellence, also at Texas Christian University.\u003cbr\u003eShe earned a Ph.D. in educational psychology from the University of Florida in 1992 and took a faculty position at Stephens College in 1991 where she taught in the psychology department and began to explore the interplay between faculty development and assessment at the university level.\u003cbr\u003eDr. Wehlburg has edited or coedited four volumes of \u003ci\u003eTo Improve the Academy\u003c\/i\u003e (Anker, 2001-2004) and has published several articles and book chapters on assessment and faculty development. In 1998 she worked as a senior associate at the American Association for Higher Education in the Assessment Forum while on sabbatical. In addition, she has been a consultant-evaluator for the Higher learning Commission and for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Faculty often make course changes based on reasons other than data. Intuition or student comments and satisfaction may be important guides, but they don't tell how much a student is learning or whether that learning transfers to other courses. This book makes the case for the use of multiple, direct measures of student learning outcomes data to enhance course development and guide meaningful course revision and decision-making. Focusing on student learning as the reason for course revision is essential. \u003ci\u003eMeaningful Course Revision\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical guide for collecting information about how well students are reaching your course goals, learning what impact your changes are having on student learning, and putting your courses into a cycle of continual revision and improvement. It will also benefit your students and keep your teaching interesting, fresh, and enjoyable. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDate-Based Decision-Making\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigning Course-Based\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing Data Enhance Innovation in Course Redesign\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRethinking Teaching and Learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbedding Assessment Activities in Meaningful Ways\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlanning The Course\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClosing the Feedback Loop\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMoving from Course-Level Decision-Making to Departmental Curriculum Planning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreating a Culture of Student Learning Outcomes Assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989592424677,"sku":"NP9781119111252","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119111252.jpg?v=1761784728","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/meaningful-course-revision-isbn-9781119111252","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
