Description
Presenter: Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian, University Libraries

Communicating expectations for students’ performance on research assignments can be challenging, because students, as novice researchers, and instructors, as more experienced research, can seem to be speaking a different language. The Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) Framework provides a three-part model which instructors can use to clarify their expectations on student assignments. The presentation will provide an overview of the TILT framework and demonstrate how instructors can use TILT to outline their expectations and provide students with the guidance needed to be successful on research assignments. This workshop is open to all faculty, staff, librarians, and graduate students at Ohio State. Instructors and librarians from other institutions are also welcome to attend.
