The purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity for participants to increase their comfort in giving and receiving feedback. Video vignettes, personal experiences, and role playing will be used to highlight the value of giving and receiving constructive feedback in a professional setting. This workshop is designed to explore ideas, lexicon, and techniques of measurement in academic health profession settings to serve those purposes. Testing is a major means for both future health care professionals to demonstrate their competence and for their health professional instructors to diagnostically monitor their students' competencies. The better the user understands the technology of testing, the better the test will meet the user's needs.
Concept mapping helps students see how knowledge is interconnected.
This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to develop their own concept map tools for assessing student learning. This workshop is designed for faculty who are looking for ways to use the Internet for course delivery. Blackboard is an online course management tool used to connect faculty and students. A course web page can be a useful resource for students and faculty.
