First-Generation College Students: A Sketch of Their Research Process. Authentic Assessment Toolbox Home Page. To the Authentic Assessment Toolbox, a how-to text on creating authentic tasks, rubrics, and standards for measuring and improving student learning.
Inside, you will find chapters on A good place to start -- In this chapter I identify the characteristics, strengths and limitations of authentic assessment; compare and contrast it with traditional (test-based) assessment. Why has authentic assessment become more popular in recent years? Pedagogych3. Kennesaw.view.usg.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All College Dreams: Alternative Pathways to Desirable Careers, American Educator, 2010. The vast majority of high school students plan to attend college--and believe that a bachelor's degree all but guarantees them a high-paying job.
What many of them don't know is that those who are not well prepared are not likely to graduate. They also don't realize that plenty of career-focused certificates and associate's degrees lead to satisfying careers that pay just as well as, and sometimes better than, careers that require a bachelor's degree. If detailed information on the broad array of higher education and career options were made available to them, students would have more incentive to work hard in high school and a better chance of achieving their dreams.

It’s been an incredible resource, but now, it’s time for an update. Some services have moved on, others have been created, and we’ve found some new discoveries, too. Many of our original 100 are still going strong, but we’ve updated where necessary and added some of our new favorites, too. Check out our new, up-to-date collection to discover the very best search engine for finding the academic results you’re looking for.
General Need to get started with a more broad search? Qualities of Academic Writing. Write to Learn At Empire State College — because you study independently, sometimes at a distance from your mentor or tutor — writing is a way to show your mentor you have learned.
But there's a more important reason to write. Writing helps you think, and thinking is what college is all about. About - FYS Research Lab.

Last week I finished the University of Warwick’s Digital Tools for Researchers e-learning course.
The series introduced me to the variety of online programmes and software available to academics, and I thought that it might be a good idea to list them here. I have divided the tools by their main function, although a lot of them could fit into several categories. The list is pretty big, so I’ve split it into two parts which I’ll post over the next couple of days. Social networking Academia.edu – create a profile listing your research interests and publications, and connect and share with other academics. ResearchGate – similar in style to academia.edu, but geared towards scientists. LinkedIn – mainly used by professionals, this social network can be useful for finding work both within and outside academia. Twitter – ‘microblogging’ site with an ever-expanding academic userbase. ResearcherID – similar to ORCID, but linked to the Web of Science database (see below).

Exploring information landscapes and bubbles By Andy Burkhardt and Alan Carbery Abstract At Champlain College Library, our information literacy programme is not just about teaching students how to search library databases, or find scholarly articles; it’s about engaging students in critical conversations about their information choices as information consumers. This chapter will narrate how we engage first year students in these conversations using multiple methods, tools, and learning objects. Through the use of mobile phone polling and a TED Talk about filter bubbles, we facilitate student discovery of a wider information landscape.

Reviewing literature is surely a key skill for any budding academic, but particularly for students engaged in postgraduate study.
For about four years I have been teaching a research methods course for a number of Masters level humanities students, which gets assessed through a report on a research project of the students’ choice which includes a brief literature review. Over the last two years in particular I have been getting an increasingly large number of annotated bibliographies instead of literature reviews (often referred to as ‘literary reviews’). The teaching strategies and materials didn’t change over that time period, but clearly students didn’t quite understand the point of using this part of their report to discuss the themes and issues raised in the secondary sources they use. Instead this section often reads like the university equivalent of a finger painting put up on a fridge, saying “Didn’t I do well?

Answering questions about library impact on student learning. Image by wordshore on Flickr This essay reports on a project which evaluated the Understanding Library Impacts (ULI) protocol, a suite of instruments for detecting and communicating library impact on student learning.
The project was a dissertation study conducted with undergraduates enrolled in upper-level and capstone history classes at six U.S. colleges and universities in 2011. Answering questions about library impact on student learning.
