Hope College has registered for the "Seeking Evidence of Impact" Educause event. You are invited to join a Hope College faculty/admin team that plans to attend this webinar event; if you are interested, please contact bandstra@hope.edu. The following information was gleaned from the ELI website.
The 2011 ELI (Educause Learning Initiative) Online Spring Focus Session is entitled "Seeking Evidence of Impact." It will be held online April 13-14. ELI will engage the teaching and learning community in exploring initial questions around seeking evidence: do our innovations accomplish our desired outcomes, how do we define "impact," and how do we measure it? Through plenary sessions and various institutional case studies, we will attempt to answer these questions.
As the pace of technology change continues unabated, institutions are faced with numerous decisions and choices to support teaching and learning. With many options and constrained budgets, faculty and administrators must make careful decisions about what practices to adopt and about where to invest their time, effort, and financial resources. As critical as these decisions are, the information available about the impact of these innovations is often scarce, scattered, or both.
