| Year 1: Summary | We seek to cluster a series of initiatives in Arts aimed at orienting theory and practice to practical experience in a systematic way throughout undergraduate curriculum in the Faculty of Arts to enhance student learning and help faculty build capacity for advising and assessment. Building on Faculty-wide Learning Outcomes activities underway, this project will support students in identifying, articulating, and defining the career outcomes associated with their curricular and experiential learning experiences through: (1) adding a second phase to the Faculty of Arts Educational and Program Learning Outcomes Project that complements academic learning outcomes with career oriented outcomes; (2) develop a study seminar for departmental advisors to build capacity among faculty and staff in the Faculty of Arts to support students’ academic and career success; (3) piloting an e-portfolio tool with the Environment and Sustainability Program and exploring feasibility of extending the eportfolio tool out to other programs in Arts. |

| Year 2: Summary | We are applying for funding for Year 2 to build on and expand the project's reach. The project seeks to systematically orient theory to practice across undergraduate curriculum in the Faculty of Arts to enhance student learning and develop advising and assessment capacity among faculty and staff. In Year 2 of the project, we will: (1) Further develop and expand the use of eportfolio tools in 3 Geography courses, and pilot eportfolio tools in 2 Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies courses, a Visual Arts course, and an introductory First Nations Studies course, with an eye to growing and sustaining the tool widely in the Faculty of Arts. (2) Continue to develop and offer in May 2016 a study seminar for faculty and staff who serve as departmental advisors, enabling them to develop capacity to have life path conversations with students and support students’ career success from a disciplinary perspective. (3) Develop a new generative, inquiry-based assessment framework for the initiatives proposed in this TLEF application. |
