Nathan Garrett To Present Poster Project at AACSB Conference

School of Business faculty member, Dr. Nathan Garrett, will present a poster titled “Mining Moodle: Extracting Assignment+Rubric Data from Moodle for AoL Purposes”  at the annual AACSB Assurance of Learning Conference, which is held from March 17 – 19 in Charleston, South Carolina.

This conference brings together assessment officers from business schools around the world to discuss better approaches for measuring student learning.  The poster shows how Moodle (an open-source course management system) stores assignment grading information.  With the correct query, this data can be extracted into a file usable by Excel.  The data provides insight on individual and aggregate student success rates.

The poster assists faculty in assessing  low-cost methods for gathering student learning data.
