On July 1, 2011, federal regulations
concerning the assignment of academic credit took effect. The
"credit hour" is now codified in terms of the Carnegie unit (aka
"seat time) Like other institutions of higher learning,
National Louis University needed to move quickly to confirm compliance by
reviewing current practices, and articulating expectations of the five basic
delivery formats (face-to-face; online; hybrid; internship; independent
study) and time-on-task for student in- and out-of-class activities.
Dr. Marsha Watson, a long-time assessment
professional, is co-founder and current President of the Board of Directors
of the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE)
and Vice Provost for Institutional Effectiveness & Accreditation at
National Louis University. She is known nationally for her work in
performance-based, curriculum-embedded assessment of student learning, particularly
in an online environment; in recent years her interest has focused on the
improvement of student learning through alignment of authentic assessment
with outcomes-based assignment of credit. Watson chaired the NLU AQIP Action
Project on the Academic Credit Unit, oversaw the development and pilots of an
online, university-wide authentic assessment process, and worked with NLU
faculty to develop the comprehensive institutional model implemented at NLU
and presented in this session.
Dr. Kathleen Gorski is Director of Assessment at National Louis
University where she is responsible for overseeing implementation of the NLU
model, managing the process, and advising the faculty as they work within
their colleges and programs to review curricula in all modalities and all
formats, align instructional time and student out-of-class work with Carnegie
Unit requirements, and identify and map outcomes assessments in every course
and program. Gorski developed the forms and other support materials used in
the process which will be distributed in the session.
