15. Technology Solutions to Support Assessment. Occasional Paper #35

Author

National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, Harrison, Jennifer M., and Braxton, Sherri N.

Abstract

In this paper, we explore how assessment technologies can support college and university assessment processes at multiple levels. Our goal is to help you think through your institutional assessment culture and processes, so you can identify tools that support your institution's approach to assessment. Multiple software systems can offer institutions rich and nuanced information about students--most schools have learning management systems (LMS) and student information systems (SIS), often supported by analytics programs that integrate the data. Faculty rely on the LMS and other tools like student response systems (i.e., "clickers"), Scantron, and e-portfolios to assess students' work at the program- and course-levels. At program- and institution-levels, many schools have adopted Assessment Management Systems (AMS) to streamline assessment processes and enrich their evidence about student learning. Yet "meaningful implementation remains elusive"--while 29% of provosts would like tools that can "aggregate assessment results to represent overall institutional performance," 51% of provosts do not find their AMS fully supportive of assessment efforts (Jankowski, Timmer, Kinzie, & Kuh, 2018, p. 4, 15, 23). How can institutions select useful assessment technologies and integrate them with existing tools, so faculty and administrators can easily extract and use the data to improve student learning? What elements should we consider when selecting technologies? Do any systems exist that address the requirements of authentic assessment in one solution? To explore these questions, we discuss how technologies can address assessment challenges. Next, we classify the functional criteria in a taxonomy. We then sketch a process to help you reflect on your assessment technology needs, giving attention to your institution's assessment culture, data, technology users, and audiences. Finally, we present evaluation criteria for judging the appropriateness of technologies.

Abstract

Assessing workforce diversity is an increasing area of evolution. A comprehensive assessment of socioeconomic diversity is important in that it can help identify needs and enable planned inclusion across a range of students. Subsequently, a more comprehensive set of background indicators is needed. The purpose of this brief report is to describe the approach we are using to determine socioeconomic background among individuals participating in a behavioral health workforce program. By using 3 strategies to assess background, we were able to determine that 4 individuals reported being unable to pay for housing, 3 indicated they had sold plasma, and 1 had experienced homelessness since starting graduate school. Our findings provide a starting point for using a comprehensive set of indicators to guide the recruitment and selection process in workforce development programs. Keywords: culturally responsive, linguistically responsive, rural, mental health, Behavioral health workforce development programs recognize that a diverse workforce can improve client outcomes (Neely-Barnes et al., 2020). As workforce programs seek to become more inclusive, more guidance is needed [...]

Abstract

Clinical supervision practices and workplace cultures are highly influential in shaping the quality of care that clients at risk for suicide receive. The purpose of this qualitative study was to document counselors' and supervisors' views regarding the supervisory practices and conditions that enable useful and life-enhancing practices when working with youth who struggle with living. We conducted two, 1.5-hour focus groups with counselors who work with youth at risk for suicide in two separate clinical sites in British Columbia, representing the views of seven counselors. Two clinical supervisors who each supervise a small team of counselors were interviewed individually. Reflexive thematic analysis, informed by a constructionist lens was used to organize and interpret the qualitative data, with a strong emphasis on researcher subjectivity, reflexivity, and the contextual nature of meaning-making. Four themes were generated: being guided by a flexible framework; addressing anxiety in a systemic way; resourcing self and others; and expanding possibilities for engaging with complexity. We argue in favor of flexible, relational, and reflexive approaches to supervision, where the development of useful responses to suicidal behavior can best be understood as a shared, system-wide responsibility, which does not place the onus for "saving lives" onto the shoulders of individual counselors.

28. Implementing Team-Based Learning (TBL) in Accounting Courses

Author

Christensen, Jacqueline, Harrison, Jennifer L., Hollindale, Janice, and Wood, Kayleen

Abstract

Accounting education has been criticised for ill-equipping graduates for professional employment, with calls for accounting students to acquire a broader range of skills. Working in teams is an important employability skill, yet students generally have negative perceptions of group work. This paper describes a different approach to group work, team-based learning (TBL). Students of introductory accounting courses were organised into permanent strategic teams and worked on multiple team activities. We examined their perceptions of TBL as a key pedagogical component of their learning activities. Compared to a control sample, our findings suggest that the TBL experience improved some attitudes, particularly among quantitatively inclined students. After experiencing TBL, students believed their teamwork abilities had improved, particularly those related to cultural diversity. Students generally believed that their ability in performing the roles of task leader, socio-emotional leader, and information provider improved significantly, as did their preferences for performing the two leadership roles.

29. Interprofessional Study Abroad: Enhancing Social Justice and Sustainability through Shared Experiential Learning

Author

Harrison, Jennifer and Palmer, Timothy

Abstract

Study abroad programs are increasingly encouraged as a method for students to develop cross-cultural competence and awareness of how to practice in diverse and multi-national settings. Barriers can exist to study abroad related to financing, scheduling, personal/professional obligations, and lack of international experience for novices. Short-term, faculty-led study abroad courses help to ameliorate these barriers, and still provide students with opportunities for experiential learning. A short-term interprofessional study course to Asia with business and health and human services undergraduate and graduate students provides opportunities for not only cross-cultural but transdisciplinary learning. The course provided participants with interprofessional learning about current issues in social justice, corporate social responsibility, development, and sustainability. Implementation, qualitative results, and future foci are discussed.

36. The Interrelatedness of Formal, Non-Formal and Informal Learning: Evidence from Labour Market Program Participants

Author

Cameron, Roslyn and Harrison, Jennifer L.

Abstract

Definitions, differences and relationships between formal, non-formal and informal learning have long been contentious. There has been a significant change in language and reference from adult education to what amounts to forms of learning categorised by their modes of facilitation. Nonetheless, there is currently a renewed interest in the recognition of non-formal and informal learning internationally and in Australia. This has been evidenced through the New OECD Activity on Recognition of Non-Formal and Informal Learning and recent policy developments in Australia. These developments have implications for the recognition of skills derived from informal and non-formal learning, especially for those disadvantaged in the labour market. This paper reports on data from a learning grid in a Learning Survey of labour market program participants (n = 172) from northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. We find that life (informal learning) and work experience (non-formal learning) are relatively more important for gaining self-reported skills than formal training/study. We conclude by arguing for a holistic focus on the dynamic interrelatedness of these forms of learning rather than being constrained by a deterministic dichotomy between formality and informality.

39. Sustainable bioenergy feedstock production in rural areas of developing countries : social impacts and stakeholder dynamics in India and Uganda

Author

Abstract

Improving the availability of secure energy supplies for the poorest rural communities is central to development efforts. World-wide, climate change concerns have led to growing interest in renewable sources, including modern forms of bioenergy. Drivers behind its adoption are diverse, location and scale dependent, and result in multi-level trade-offs. Although impacts are context-specific, bioenergy production and use have a wider impact on issues including deforestation, biodiversity loss, water shortages and food price increases. At local levels reports of labour exploitation, loss of local land rights, market interference and resource depletion are alarming. However, bioenergy projects continue to be promoted and implemented for potential social, environmental and economic benefits, particularly in rural areas of developing countries. Efforts to ensure sustainable bioenergy at international levels are emerging, with varying success. Existing market and legislative efforts are often insufficient to ensure positive socio-economic and environmentally sound outcomes locally. This thesis therefore aims to provide two approaches to incorporate socio-economic aspects in planning for sustainable bioenergy production in rural areas of developing countries. The research uses India and Uganda as substantive case studies. Based on these experiences, and in order to better understand the social effects of bioenergy feedstock production, a straightforward two step methodology for assessing social effects of bioenergy projects in developing countries is proposed, intended to be embedded within a planning for sustainability framework. One of the main barriers to success has been effective multi-stakeholder consultation (MSC). To address this, a second approach is conceived, for identifying and understanding stakeholders and their dynamics (in terms of roles, requirements and risks). Initially this focuses on liquid biofuel production models in India using five Jatropha curcas L.-based biodiesel production models in Chhattisgarh State, where the significant distinctions between them are: land ownership and value chain; and market end use and route. When analysing social impacts locally the risks and responsibilities of different stakeholder groups must be considered. The approach is then trialled on eight predominately theoretical models of woody biomass for gasification in Uganda, where the main distinctions are land ownership and feedstock type. Key social issues vary by whether models are corporately or farmer/NGO led, and what production arrangements were in place. Scale of plantation and market size were found to be important; small, privately owned models are unlikely to benefit landless poor and could deplete resources without strategic planning, while larger projects employ more, but often have longer term natural resource impacts. Bioenergy initiatives which collaborate with the rural poor and landless are found to be most likely to result in socio-economic rural development, and one of the proposed Ugandan models which potentially offers social benefits is analysed in terms of additional outcomes. The analysis concludes it is: economically viable; will produce significantly less carbon than generators (dependent on plantation productivity); will not impact local water resources significantly (if converting rangeland); and requires capacity building and stakeholder participation from the outset to promote local ownership and troubleshooting ability. The importance of strategic planning and departmental coordination, and the need for a pilot case to allow the technology to be tested, are shown. It is concluded that participation of stakeholders in the sustainability planning process is crucial, and the approaches proposed in this thesis are robust facilitating tools. Context-specific assessments, such as these, are essential in planning for sustainable bioenergy production and would be expected to facilitate successful MSC and ultimately sustainability planning, improving its contribution to policy making.

Abstract

The protozoan blood-borne parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas' disease, an enervating and often fatal illness prevalent in South and Central America for which there is no effective treatment. T. cruzi has a cell-surface trans- sialidase which transfers sialic acid from mammalian oligosaccharides to the parasite. This action allows adhesion to and invasion of mammalian cells, subsequently allowing parasitic replication. This protein therefore is exploitable and represents a potential target for the development of chemotherapeutic agents. This thesis describes the purification of recombinant trans-sialidase and the development of a rapid, reliable spectrophotometric coupled assay to measure trans-sialidase activity. It also details the use of three mutually exclusive synthetic oligosaccharide libraries to map substrate recognition for the enzyme. Synthetic fragments of the natural branched oligosaccharide substrates have also been sialylated on a preparative scale, demonstrating the use of trans-sialidase in synthetic oligosaccharide chemistry.
