Presentation #1: Exploring the Impact of Michigan Learning Communities
Presentation #2: “What we do may not always be good for us”: Analytics of Michigan Medical Students’ Histology Study Strategies and Learning Success
Out-of-class experiences have been found to have a significant impact on student learning. These two SLAM presentations will focus on using learning analytics to measure outcomes in two different out-of-class contexts at U-M: Michigan Living-Learning Communities and online learning resources for Medical and Dental School students.
Students engage in a variety of co-curricular activities to enhance their educational experience. But what impact do these programs have on academic achievement? In "Exploring the Impact of Michigan Learning Communities," Jennifer Maltby (Associate Director, Michigan Research Community)will present results from a multi-year effort to assess the impact of six residential Learning Communities at the University of Michigan.
