Not sure where to begin with incorporating UDL principles into your course? Student feedback is a great place to start! During this session we will discuss how student feedback can guide your UDL practices.
Below is the session recording and resources for this program from April 27, 2023, presented by Taylor Richards.
The pharmacy law course at Concordia University was rebuilt from scratch for the Fall 2022 semester. Content, assessments, and enrichment questions were developed to align with the competencies for the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE) pharmacist licensure exam. Required course elements included lectures, post-lecture assignments and five exams. Optional enrichment included more than 450 lectures/MPJE Competency-aligned Jeopardy-style practice questions. Enrichment also included the ability to repeat archived assignments after their due dates before exam dates. This session will describe the methods used to develop and deliver the course, as well as share the data assessing the impact of the optional enrichment materials on students’ exam performance.

This session will review CUWAA’s full-time faculty annual evaluation form, process, and timeline. We will discuss sources of evidence used to ensure that our faculty are effective teachers addressing the mission of Concordia, productive scholars, and contributing service to the university, church, community, and/or profession. We will also cover the many resources CUWAA provides to help faculty achieve their goals, including the CELT (for teaching), the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (for research, grants, and scholarship), the full-time faculty onboarding process, and how department chairs/program directors can (and should) be involved in observing, mentoring and supporting their faculty.
Below are resources and the recording for this session that occurred Wednesday April 19, Noon – 1:00 pm Central/1:00 – 2:00 pm Eastern.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, we will focus on GLO #3 Integrated Disciplinary Knowledge and GLO#1 Christian Faith. Next year, versions of both forms, adapted for 23-24, will be required. That means you will submit information on data collection, conclusions, recommendations on your Program Learning Outcomes aligned with GLO #3 Integrated Disciplinary Knowledge and GLO #1 Christian Faith. In subsequent years, we will recommend a cycle of review which always includes GLO #1 Christian Faith.
2023-2024 Focus GLO #3 Integrated Disciplinary Knowledge
“Our graduates integrate insights from a wide range of disciplines.”
This kind of learning engages students to build knowledge and abilities across two or more disciplines, including within courses, among courses, between coursework and practicum settings, within interprofessional education, and between academic curriculum and the university co-curriculum. Examples range from using multiple modes of inquiry, making connections among ideas and experiences, including reflecting on these connections, to synthesizing learning in new, complex situations within and beyond the campus.
