Srijana Bajracharya from the Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education presented a paper titled, “Sustainability Education: A Liberal Arts Course Based on Burns Model of Sustainability Pedagogy.”  The presentation summarized the development and delivery of the course on sustainability focused on public health perspectives.  The course has closely followed Burns model of sustainability education which suggests using not only the Content on sustainability but also using multiple Perspectives and Power relationships through various in-class or outside experiential learning. Included in the discussion was an online version of learning using Voicethread (VT) system in order to humanize the course.  A poll on the use of VT forum was taken at the end of the semester from students.  The overall response was positive and the results were shared with the participants at the session.

Measuring student learning is an essential component of our work and dedication to students at Ithaca College. We have an obligation to ensure that the strategies and practices we are using in classrooms and within our co-curriculum are effectively contributing to student learning. As such, the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Committee offers a website of ever-growing resources to faculty and staff in an effort to support and guide this important work. Within the website, expect to find resources for creating and measuring student learning outcomes, sample departmental learning outcomes, how-to-guides for Taskstream/Watermark, examples of how campus partners are using student learning measures to improve practices, and contact information for members of the community who can lend a hand through this process. We’d love to hear your feedback and requests for additional resources as you use this website. Please contact Doreen Hettich-Atkins with suggestions.
