A well-designed rubric is an indispensable tool in learning assessment. But what opportunities exist in the co-curricular realm to leverage rubrics for assessing student learning? Student affairs leaders are increasingly being asked to showcase how their efforts impact learning outside of the classroom and using rubrics to document and assess learning is the key. In this webinar our presenters will share a brief overview of rubrics and their benefits, as well as thoughtful discussion about successful adoption, common challenges and proven solutions when using rubrics. Focusing on how student affairs professionals can harness the power of rubrics in assessment, attendees will learn how to support the advancement of assessment practices at their institution.

“I know data is being collected, but I’m not sure how it’s being used.” Sound familiar? Student Affairs assessment leaders often report that data collection has become a routine practice, but capturing how program, department, and divisional leaders are learning from their data and leveraging it to make informed decisions is more elusive. Combining a smart collection approach with a strategy for meaningful use of data is the key to developing a data-informed culture of assessment. Baseline is designed to not only capture data across multiple methodologies, but also help with data analysis and reporting. Join us to learn how you can better leverage department data that lives in Baseline to help make data-driven decisions that will make an impact.

Good assessment practice doesn’t end at survey management. With Baseline in your assessment toolkit, you are able to not only design and implement survey instruments, but also leverage rubrics and polls in real time to diversify your data collection efforts. This introductory session will show new and veteran users how to create surveys, rubrics, and polls. Additionally, we will outline the pros and cons of each assessment method, as well as how Baseline can help facilitate the assessment needs of users. Assessment topics covered include: the Assessment Cycle, Formative and Summative Assessment, and Direct and Indirect Methods of Assessments.

This training provides step-by-step instructions for using the reporting tools available in Baseline. Participants will learn how to create and customize graphs, apply filters to view subsets of data, and export reports. We will also demonstrate how to set up comparison reports of data across time, between groups or programs, or before and after an intervention.

This session is targeted to users who have Self-Service Survey Builder permissions to create their own surveys in the system. Participants are encouraged to follow along as we provide step-by-step instructions for adding different question types, question options, customized display rules, and skip logic in the survey builder. Note: Not all Baseline users have access to build their own surveys. Please contact support@campuslabs.com if you are unsure if this webinar is right for you.

This session is targeted to users who want to create truly effective and efficient surveys in Baseline. We will cover best practices for designing a survey, including a review of question types available in Baseline and when to use which kinds of questions depending on your goals for the survey. This session is a great companion to the "Surveys in Baseline: Building Your Own Surveys in Baseline" for those users who have access to Self-Service Builder in Baseline.

This session will walk through the functionality of the Student Response System (SRS), a method for gathering real-time data. We will discuss the benefits of the SRS tool in the context of formative assessment methodologies and offer suggestions for how you can leverage this tool as part of your overall assessment plan.

Rubrics are a valuable tool that can be used as a direct assessment method while also providing students with clear expectations. In this session, participants will learn about rubric methodology as well as how to create their own rubrics using the Rubrics tool in Baseline. During this live demonstration, we will walk participants through all of the features of the tool including grading, weighting, and Learning Management System integration options.

Once you have collected data, your next step will be to analyze it to draw conclusions. In this session, we will review how to approach data analysis both efficiently and effectively. We will explore how reporting within the survey tool can be used to enhance your analysis.

Ready to take your assessment to the next level? If you work closely with students outside of the classroom and want to be able to effectively measure their learning beyond just satisfaction, consider using rubrics as part of your assessment plan. In this webinar, we will break down some of the nuances of the Campus Labs Rubrics tool (part of the Baseline suite) from a Student Affairs perspective. This webinar compliments our Rubric Methodology webinar and will prepare you to create the perfect rubric for your next assessment project.

Assessment is an intentional, integrated, and inter-connected process that helps stakeholders make key decisions that directly impact divisional effectiveness and student learning. In this webinar, we will review the Baseline tools that allow you to standardize data collection and manage all your assessment from one convenient location. For our partners who heart data, Baseline provides you the advantage of not only launching new surveys, but also analyzing and reporting on pre-existing survey data, data collected from an SIS system, or results from national studies. With your assessment data centralized, you can compare data over time, ensure you aren’t over-assessing your population, and make better informed decisions. In addition to reviewing the tool set's capabilities, we will also feature Dr. Judd Harbin, who serves as the Executive Director of Student Affairs Strategic Planning & Assessment at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, to share some best practices around leveraging Baseline to make assessment efforts intentional and valuable.

Baseline is an invaluable tool in your assessment toolkit. As with any tool, it takes a certain amount of training and skill to wield it effectively. We’re here to help you prepare your staff to use Baseline successfully as part of your assessment process. During this webinar, we will be highlighting resources available to your campus to build a culture of assessment. We will provide guidance for developing a plan for professional development. Finally, we will review common pitfalls and possible solutions to consider when implementing Baseline and other Campus Labs tools on campus. This webinar will also feature one of our fantastic assessment partners, Director of Research and Assessment at Rutgers University- New Brunswick, Dr. Dayna Weintraub! If you’re a Baseline Site Administrator (or someone who is responsible for manage assessment on your campus) we hope that you’ll join us to learn how to effectively roll out the Baseline to your division.
