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 2017-2018 (July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018) is Friday, October 28, 2016. Find more details on the TLO Application webpage.

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.
