Feedback for Instruction and Student Perceptions of Learning Survey Online

As educators we are continuously learning and improving our teaching practices. This continuous improvement relies on feedback. In this session we will share ways instructors can collect feedback from students about teaching. Furthermore, you will learn about how you will get your Student Perceptions of Learning Survey (SPLS) feedback at the end of the semester. You will walk away with an example for collecting feedback during the semester and discuss how to use this feedback for effective instruction. In addition, you will learn about what to prepare for when you receive your SPLS scores and how these can be useful to you.
