Some of the answers here are deceptive. It may appear that I am saying "maybe, depending on what," but in reality I am
saying "probably not, but I can't answer with a definitive 'no' unless I have more information." For example, regarding
collegial best practices exchange, if I am talking with other folks who teach in/around my area, then it is a definite maybe.
If it is folks from PE or some area totally different from what I teach, then almost certainly the answer is no. It all depends
on the circumstances.

considered.

Apr 25, 2012 1:05 PM

During the term, longer sessions (2+ hours) would almost certainly need to be on Friday or Saturday, and they would
need to be *very* compelling in order to get me to come to campus. Something running half a day on a Friday or
Saturday would need to extra extra compelling or I won't attend. For example I was up the other morning at 3:30 a.m. in
order to attend an online conference put on by Wolfram Research (Mathematica), because it was extremely compelling,
and it started at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. But coming in on a Friday-- unless it coincides with a division/department
meeting-- means you need to teach me how to walk on water or something. Seriously... please don't get me wrong, but I
think I should answer directly and forthrightly. I'm not going out of my way for blackboard training, for example.
Apr 25, 2012 12:49 PM
7
It would be really helpful to to provide all these sessions through Adobe Connect so faculties who can't participate in
person can still attend via webinars or Blackboard. I am 1.5 hours away from the campus. It will make help greatly in
terms of time and commute.

Page 5, Q1. What do you and your department need to make the assessing of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) or Service Area Outcomes a more

2+ year I cannot get access to courses to enter required data. No responses to emails.
Apr 26, 2012 9:00 PM
16
This question assumes that SLOs are useful and meaningful as we currently do them. I would suggest starting from fresh
and develop a view of assessment.

Page 5, Q1. What do you and your department need to make the assessing of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) or Service Area Outcomes a more

17
The more the process is straightforward and easy to do, the more people comply... and the more meaningful data is
collected. That's been the case in my department, I think. The SLOlutions software has helped with this.
Apr 26, 2012 3:12 PM

We have identified this as a huge concern and are doing a workshop at the end of the semester to address this and many
other issues
Apr 25, 2012 1:11 PM
29
time to set up more assessments
Apr 25, 2012 1:00 PM
30
I think many students come to the class under prepared. It's hard for instructors to keep them in the class room if they are
not committed to stay due to job, work-study and family issues. Students often drop classes in the middle of semester. If
"numbers" is not the primary thing the department is looking after, we need to come out with better ways to assess SLOS.
Therefore, the result can be meaningful and useful.
Apr 25, 2012 12:55 PM
31
Talk about the summary of results for each SLO.

35 of 42
Page 5, Q1. What do you and your department need to make the assessing of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) or Service Area Outcomes a more
meaningful and useful process?
32
Developing Student learning outcomes is not one size fits all in my opinion so the context of development needs to clearly
relate every stakeholders bottom line. I would like to see more cross-functional stakeholder engagement if it does not
already exist in some other fashion.
Apr 25, 2012 12:45 PM

Nothing in particular, we are happy with our process.
Apr 25, 2012 12:10 PM
36
Keep them short, less than five words.

It would be ideal to have review/training of assessing the results and creating new SLO's.
Apr 25, 2012 12:07 PM
38
I don't believe that either area is meaningful or useful, as the data gathered from collection is spurious and meaningless.
As presently structured it can't be improved.

Because Microsoft Office products are familiar to Rio Hondo employees, I think a more detailed survey just on MS Office
might be useful: can you do x, y, or z with Word, for example, to find out the topics that could be targeted in training. I
was excited to go to an Excel training that turned out to be so basic that I learned very little that I could use. The
workshop also taught formulas I will never need and the things I hoped to learn were not covered.This kind of thing could
be prevented by surveying potential workshop attendees about what they can already do with the software and even what
they hope to be able to do after the workshop.

In general, I think the best bang for our buck comes from stuff that is streamed online 24/7. I think we have a lot of folks
here on campus who can share compelling knowledge, which might be of interest to a large audience if it is convenient
enough to access, but they lack a venue or a critical mass of interested parties to justify doing a face-to-face training
session. Or they lack the ability to record such a training session in which they share their knowledge, passion, etc. I'd
like to see us pursuing some way of capturing things that may be of interest. For example, can we record someone as
they teach powerpoint tricks or how to edit questions in Diploma test question banks or whatever? If not, what would it
take to make that happen? That's my $0.02.
