“…Three of these involve self-assessment of benefits based on survey data and without any comparison to a control group or to earlier results. These concern the impact of quality assessment on teaching and learning (Szymenderski, Yagudina, and Burenkova 2015;Steslow et al 2016), and the impact of staff training on student satisfaction (Trigwell et al 2012).…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter describes the design and development of a self-paced, online instructional unit that was designed to provide just-in-time support for students enrolled in legal-studies-related courses (interpreted to include justice studies, criminal justice, and business law coursework). The instructional unit provides an orientation to legal terminology, legal research, and legal writing. The instructional unit also serves as an optional, web-accessible, self-paced orientation. Universal design for learning principles guided the design of the instructional unit as well as all supporting materials and exercises. The chapter presents an overview of how universal design for learning informed and influenced the design and development of the instructional unit. Findings from an associated mixed-methods research study are also shared.

Enhancing Higher Education Accessibility Through Open Education and Prior Learning

Students often experience significant challenges in adopting discipline-specific terminology and conforming to related writing expectations that are embedded in course materials, assignments, and discussions. Further, although written communication skills are desired by employers and broadly recognized as critical to business success, students commonly underestimate the essential role of these skills in their careers. Additional research was needed in terms of what types of resources might improve both student writing and related awareness regarding the value of written communication skills. This chapter summarizes a study that examined an intervention in the form of a supplemental (in-course), self-paced, instructional unit designed to address the above-described challenge.
