Transformational Learning Opportunity (TLO) Workshops

The Office of Undergraduate Studies and the Office of Faculty Enhancement (OFE) will be hosting two workshops to help faculty plan for Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLOs) and to apply for the TLO Grant Program. The first session will provide an overview of the program and foundational perspectives. The second session will provide a hands-on workshop for developing effective assessment strategies.
The TLO Application Deadline for projects taking place in 2014-2015 (July 1 2014 - June 30, 2015) is October 17, 2013 by 5pm. Find more details on the TLO Application webpage.

Manageable and Meaningful Assessment of Transformational Learning Experiences

Thursday, October 3, 2013, 3:00-4:30 p.m.

OFE/FA Conference Room, Building 16, Room 3108
RSVP to ofe@unf.edu

UNF Faculty who apply for TLO funding design a wide variety of truly transformational learning experiences for students. Designing an assessment plan both enhances the TLO application and provides an important way to maximize student benefit from the experience.  Yet assessing transformational learning objectives can be difficult because the objectives can be difficult to define, and because TLOs may not include graded assignments in the same way as other classes do. This workshop will help participants define transformational learning objectives and develop manageable assessment strategies for determining the impact of the TLO experience. Faculty and staff interested in applying for Transformational Learning Opportunity (TLO) funds are especially encouraged to attend.
