Every college in the country is struggling with the need to identify and assess student learning outcomes and use the evidence for improving what we do in the classroom. It’s a challenge typically hindered by narrow, disconnected views of learning. Our challenge has been to find a way to re-energize assessment practices in a way that will sustain faculty interest and commitment over the long haul. We have found what we’ve been looking for in the patterns and imagery of a white water river experience. Envision a white water river – flowing, connected, engaging, continuous, branching, challenging, recycling – and you have a powerful image of what we should expect learning assessment to look like.

While most colleges are still struggling with identifying learning outcomes and creating assessment tools, Ohio’s Hocking College is becoming a model for achieving confluence of evidence. Participants in this session should leave being able to envision how evidence of learning outcomes can be generated, gathered, merged, and used for program improvement at their college.

There is a simpler way to talk about learning assessment with students and faculty. We learned it from the river. In the face of great challenges, guides on a white water paddle raft assess to assist, assess to advance, and assess to adjust – and accountability model that works just as well in the classroom. Participants in this session should leave being able to use language and images from a white water river and bring clarity to assessment practices in the classroom.

Proposal: Innovative Degree Development in Response to a New College Mandate The British Columbia (B.C.) provincial government recently expanded the mandate of B.C. colleges to include the offering of applied degrees. In response to this expanded mandate and a large government driven five year growth initiative, Douglas College has implemented a number of new degree programs. These degree programs include a wide range of models from collaborative and joint degree programs with other degree institutions, through to two plus two and integrated degree models offered by Douglas College. The process of implementing degree programs first began with the development of an Academic Plan that outlined the key strategic directions the college hoped to achieve through new program development. Subsequent to adoption of this plan the college embarked on the development of a new degree development policy that would guide the process of degree development. In addition, a sub-committee of Education Council was tasked with the responsibility of establishing standards for review of degree proposal; including depth and breath requirements. Following development and adoption of the Academic Plan, a Tactical Plan was developed. This plan included a college-wide (Education Division) component along with specific Faculty plans developed by each of the seven Faculties. These plans addressed the details of program development and also addressed the concomitant changes that would occur in regards to scholarly activity development, implementation of an Academic Signature, increased student engagement, and increased access and foundational support opportunities. To date, Douglas College has implemented three new baccalaureate degrees and four collaborative or joint baccalaureate degrees. Three additional Douglas College degrees are expected to be implemented in September 2007, with a fourth one planned for September 2008. Douglas is also presently working with four other colleges to develop a collaborative Bachelor of Performing Arts degree that is planned for implemented in September 2008. These degrees, in combination with other new program initiatives, have significantly enhanced the post-secondary access of students served by Douglas College.
