From EdTech Chaos to Student Success: A Roadmap for Sustainable Learning Technology Management
Concurrent 60-Minute Session | Monday, October 28 | 12:30–1:30 PM
It's a simple fact that institutions need to exchange core enterprise data between systems and tools within their teaching and learning ecosystem. Imagine a scenario where your student information system seamlessly communicates with your learning management system, which in turn connects flawlessly to your edtech tools—from AI to curriculum to assessment. This integration holds the promise of not just better decision-making but also a more dynamic and productive learning environment. In this session, we'll review what you need to build a healthy technology ecosystem that supports innovation inside and outside the classroom. You'll gain insights and resources to manage and sustain your technology to support the direction of your institution and its future impact on student success.

- Andi Strackeljahn, Curriculum Specialist, School of Optometry at Indiana University Bloomington
Assessing Learning At Work: Enabling Students to Articulate Skills through Immersive Experiences
Concurrent 60-Minute Session | Monday, October 28 | 4:30–5:30 PM
Imagine an opportunity where students can practice in-demand skills through outcomes-based learning at their higher ed institution—and then create a personal learning portfolio that goes beyond traditional transcripts. The Digital Corps at Ball State University comprises student employees, working with nine full-time staff. The Corps takes on projects from across the university, serving both academic and administrative units. This session captures the collaborative approach to assessing student learning in different contexts- ensuring they can practice skills in different environments including through campus jobs linked to the University’s strategic plan.
Speakers:
- Loren Malm, Vice President for Information Technology, Ball State University
- Suzanne Carbonaro, Director, Higher Education Programs, 1EdTech
- Brandon Smith, Executive Director of the Digital Corps, Ball State University
Grand Challenges in Assessment - Findings From a Survey of the Measurement of Student Learning
Concurrent 60-Minute Session | Tuesday, October 29 | 9:30–10:30 AM
The researchers seek to use this presentation to share findings from the survey results with Assessment Institute participants on the current trends in the measurement of student learning in the context of formative assessment, co-curricular learning, experiential learning, and multiple choice exams. The purpose of this study was to explore how faculty and staff at higher education institutions measure student learning using various assessment strategies. We were interested in understanding how the assessment of student learning happens at the institutional, programmatic, and course level. This research is exploratory, so we hoped to gain an understanding of student learning assessment.
Speakers:
- Chadia Abras, Director of Institutional Assessment, Johns Hopkins University
- Suzanne Carbonaro, Director, Higher Education Programs, 1EdTech
- René Schmauder, Ph.D. Director of Undergraduate Assessment, Clemson University
- Jessica N. Taylor, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, LEAD Program, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
