Today's Podcast: Assessment and Grading: Identical Twins or Distant Cousins?
An archived session from the 2007 Celebration of Learning conference.

How is grading different from assessment, or are they really the same thing? We’ll look at the difference between evaluating a student’s work for the purpose of assigning a grade and assessing what the student really has (or has not) accomplished.

Today's Podcast: Designing Teaching to Foster Active and Developmental Learning
by Tim Riordan, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor of Philosophy at Alverno College.
As the title suggests, this workshop engages participants in an exploration of the principles and practices that foster active and developmental learning. Drawing from the experience of Alverno College, where faculty and staff have developed and refined an ability-based curriculum for more than thirty years, the workshop will address:
* Processes for articulating learning expectations for our students
* The developmental aspects of teaching, learning, and assessment
* Ways of designing courses to engage students in active and developmental learning
* Forms of collaborative inquiry that foster scholarly teaching
In the first part of the workshop participants consider together the principles, practices, and insights that have informed the work of the Alverno College faculty and staff in creating a student learning-centered culture. In the second part of the workshop participants use those principles, practices, and insights to begin exploring implications for enhancing student learning at Columbus State Community College.Tim Riordan is Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor of Philosophy at Alverno College. He has been at Alverno since 1976 and in addition to his teaching has been heavily involved in developing programs and processes for teaching improvement and curriculum development.

Today's Podcast:From Push to Pull with John Seely Brown
Welcome to this edition of Learning Curve Audio. This episode is a co-production with the Ohio Learning Network.
In this episode I interview Dr. John Seely Brown. He is the author of several books including The Social Life of Information and his latest work The Only Sustainable Edge: Why Business Strategy Depends On Productive Friction And Dynamic Specialization. John Seely Brown is a leading thinker on living, learning and doing business in the digital age. He advocates a shift in educational strategy away from teaching students about subjects toward enculturating students into communities of learning for their discipline. Digital communication is central to this learning. John Seely Brown was a Keynote speaker at the recent Ohio Digital Commons for Education conference. I’ll provide a link to a recording of his talk when it becomes available. I caught up with John Seely Brown between sessions to record a brief interview.
