1. Articulate the strengths and weaknesses of technology tools for quantitative and qualitative data collection. Briefly annotate the characteristics of at least two qualitative and two quantitative data collection tools. (Walk through the different technology tools available to collect data, what they can do, what they cannot do, and whether they might work for your particular needs—formative assessment or summative assessment data collection, quantitative or qualitative data, et cetera.) 2. Describe the tools you chose and the process you used to choose the right technology tools for data collection to answer the questions. How is your decision supported by research and best practices to choose the right data collection technology? 3. You should analyze how the tools offer valid and reliable assessments of student learning and engagement and can be used to inform future instruction (initial instruction, remediation, reteaching, and enrichment). Some examples of tools are Google Forms, Quizzizz, Pear Deck, Kahoot, Socrative, Edulastic, etc. Hope this helps.

a. Directions for Writing Professional Growth Plan The Growth Plan will include: 1. A comparison of June ISLLC Self-Assessment to the July ISLLC Self-Assessment with a reflection on all six standards. 2. The overall process you engaged in when you put your “Artifacts Portfolio” together and while you were writing your Growth Plan. 3. Your thoughts about how your engagement in these tasks combined to help you understand your own journey to grow professionally in meeting NELP SBL and SDL standards, and how you are personally represented in your Professional Development Portfolio and Professional Growth Plan. 4. The specific implications you have derived from pondering the connections between your readings and the Growth Plans of those readings. 5. A description of your personal view of your future as a SBL and SDL educational leader in whatever role you see for yourself as you travel the road ahead. 6. A discussion of what you now know that you did not know when you began this course. The ways your awareness of the above developed MUST make reference to: (1) Each of the attached NELP standards. You must include Reflection and Growth Plans on each of the standards (see attachment of the NELP standards to be included in your Growth Plan), and the standards must be reflected in your Growth Plan. Ps. When using the standards, make explicit connections to them and use and name specific standards.

Instructions 1. Access the NILOA Case Studies page for an overview of featured colleges and universities that use good assessment practices. 2. Select one case study for the college or university that you think best exemplifies good use of assessment strategies and techniques for assessing student learning. Write a report using the selected case study. In your report, include the following: 1. Provide an analysis of how the selected college or university effectively uses assessment strategies and techniques to evaluate student learning. Provide specific examples from the NILOA case study. Include citations from credible, reliable sources to support your suggestions as well. 2. Include a description of your role on the assessment committee. Indicate how completing this report as part of your role is contributing to your institution’s active analysis of assessment strategies and techniques. Your report should be 2–3 pages in length and formatted in APA style. Reference National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment. (n.d.). Case studies.

1. Definition of reversal learning 2. An example of reversal learning out of every day life (not how it is being tested in the lab) 3. How reversal learning is tested in humans in the lab (introduce deterministic vs probabilistic reversal learning here) – here you could already discuss how patients with psychiatric disorders are impaired in reversal learning 4. How reversal learning is being tested in rodents in the lab (similar to the human discussion, discuss deterministic vs probabilistic reversal learning here for rodents) – here you can discuss how rodent models of stress are impaired in reversal learning 5. Neural circuits – here you can adopt a similar structure as above, i.e.: a. What do we know about circuits for reversal learning from human MRI studies? b. How are these neural circuits that we know from human studies different in patients with psychiatric disorders? c. What do we know about the neural circuits of reversal learning from rodent studies (start with the ones that are the same in humans, which you discuss before? d. How are these neural circuits that we know from rodent studies different in models of stress/ depression/ anxiety?
