The Teaching With Sakai Innovation Award (TWSIA) committee is honored to introduce the distinguished individuals who will serve as judges for the fourth annual competition for this international award.

Assessing Student Learning Using AAC&U VALUE Rubrics

Practice Type: 
Portfolio: Assessment

This practice is a proof of concept demonstration of one way to implement the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics in Sakai/OSP. We have created a matrix for a possible undergraduate learning experience, a set of evaluation forms using the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics, and a glossary explicating AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes. These Sakai/OSP data structures can be used to create a portfolio implementation to assess student learning across and beyond the curriculum.

AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes matrix and VALUE Rubrics

Resource Type: 
OSP Matrix

Introduction

This is a package of demonstration material that illustrates one way that Sakai could be used to implement portions of an assessment strategy using the AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes and VALUE rubrics. It is not a comprehensive solution and should be regarded as an early release. Feedback of any sort is welcome. Below we attempt to qualify this implementation with some assumptions and related limitations:

Assumptions and Limitations

Each AAC&U VALUE rubric includes a statement that says:

AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes: 
Civic knowledge & engagement (local & global)
Creative thinking
Critical thinking
Ethical reasoning & action
Foundations & skills for lifelong learning
Information literacy
Inquiry & analysis
Integrative learning
Intercultural knowledge & competence
Oral communication
Problem solving
Quantitative literacy
Teamwork
Written communication

If I have to submit an application for the Teaching With Sakai Innovation Award for someone else, what is the preferred process?

Ideally, each applicant would submit himself/herself. If you are in a position where you, as an instructional technologist or a co-applicant, have to submit for someone else, follow these steps:

Add an Announcement Video

Practice Type: 
Portfolio: Professional Development

To show the end user how to create an announcement on their worksite.

Do I have to be excellent in every category of the rubrics to apply for the Teaching with Sakai Innovation Award?

No. What the award focuses on is innovation at large. If you implemented a great idea to enhance student learning and feel like you might need to improve in some other aspects, please do not hesitate to submit your course.

How do I join the Sakai or OSPortfolio community?

Short version:

http://collab.sakaiproject.org/

Long version:

If you're tinkering with Sakai or its Electronic Portfolio "Open Source Portfolio (OSP)" you might have questions -- or you might find yourself wanting to contribute back to the community (documentation, quality-assurance testing, project management, java or XML coding...)

What is the relationship between OSP and the Sakai Project and its Sakai Foundation?

Tagged with:

Open Source Portfolio (OSP) is a set of integrated tools that live inside the full Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE).

OSP and Sakai are both community source projects of the non-profit Sakai Foundation.

See the FAQ: Can I use OSP without using Sakai?

Can I use OSP without using Sakai?

Tagged with:

Yes.

Although Open Source Portfolio runs in and depends on the base Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment, you can enable and use OSP tools without turning on or using any Sakai collaboration or course tools.

Alternatively, you can enable and use only those Sakai tools that may be useful in your specific portfolio environment, for example, Sakai's announcements, mailing list/archive or calendaring tools.
