Compile information and discuss June-July 2015 Libraries-wide Prepare summary report on June-August 2015 Libraries instructional activities with action plan and identifiable metrics Distribute plan to Unit Heads August 2015- – discuss implementation of action items Repeat survey, track progress Ongoing 1 to 2 years Note: Assessment of instructional activities is a vital objective and is currently a work in progress. Under the direction of Joseph Salem, Associate Dean for Learning, Undergraduate Services, and Commonwealth Campus Libraries, a Libraries-wide approach is under development. An example of the approach follows. Example Assessment Plan for Teaching and Learning Action Item: Create a Baseline of Current Learning Partnerships Specific metric n/a (assessment project) – Data collection method - survey Data collection frequency - once Person responsible for data collection implementation team – Person responsible for analysis / assessment - tbd Programmatic Area Goal Action AY Responsible for Responsible for Responsible Action Item Data Collection for Analysis Teaching and Goal 1 Create a 2014-2015 Implementation Implementation TBD Learning baseline of team team current learning partnerships PROGRAMMATIC AREA - ADVANCING UNIVERSITY RESEARCH The working group has identified several preliminary tactical goals for the objectives below. In doing so, the group used the SMART convention. This approach uses the following criteria: S--specific in terms of results to be achieved M--measureable A--ambitious R--but realistic R--time bound The Assessment and Metrics plan currently developed (see attached example) will be applied to each tactic. This is work currently in progress. GOAL 1: Provide scholarly collections and services needed for cross-disciplinary research by undergraduate, graduate and faculty researchers. Objective: Create a research services model that crosses organizational boundaries and provides deeper support for interdisciplinary research and emerging researcher needs
