As colleges and universities broaden their missions to serve new groups of learners, and as more people pursue a college education, college educators must strive to engage increasingly diverse student populations. At the same time, changing workplace needs and growing demands for accountability require that college educators must be able to help demonstrate that learners have met important learning goals. In this course, education professionals will investigate the research-based teaching and assessment strategies that can support all learners. Education professionals also assess methods for critically reflecting upon their own practice, engaging in education scholarship, and collaborating with colleagues on the continuous improvement of learning experiences and environments.
