Description
Are you like us—always wanting to assess your work, but not having the personnel, budget, time or expertise to do effective assessment? Our learning commons project intensified our resolve to put in place processes that will effectively determine the success of the learning commons model at ENC.This presentation will update our learning commons journey, not only with assessment methodologies and results, but also with courses of action involved with adding our Center for Academic Success into the building.Our workshop will include conversations with all of the learning commons managers. We’ll talk about training, remodeling, and the challenges of adding a third player (IT joined the learning commons in phase 1) to the mix. Hear how we are working on cultural changes and exploring the possibilities of systemic reorganization. We especially invite 2012 conference attendees who participated in part 1 “Implementing a Budget-Neutral Learning Commons” to join us for an update and the promised hands-on opportunities. However, this year’s content can stand alone, so everyone is welcome.We continue to be excited about the ways the learning commons collaboration has led to better access to academic services for our students. We present this with the hope that our experiences will provide concepts/ models that can be applicable in other institutions.
