Sarah Ralston presents the principles of Transparent Design in Learning and Teaching (TILT). Those who watch the recording are welcome to contact Sarah (sralston@eou.edu) with questions, for materials, or to set up a time to workshop their own assignments.
TILT Description:“Transparent instruction involves faculty/student discussion about several important aspects of academic work before students undertake that work, making explicit the purpose of the work, the knowledge that will be gained and its utility in students’ lives beyond college; explaining the tasks involved, the expected criteria, and providing multiple examples of real-world work applications of the specific academic discipline. The simple change of making objective and methods explicit – that faculty recognize as consistent with their teaching goals – creates substantial benefits for students and demonstrably increases such predictors of college students’ success as academic confidence, sense of belonging in college, self-awareness of skill development, and persistence.”
