Wednesday, May 20 at 2:00 PM Eastern GeoTech Center Webinar: MAY 2015 WEBINAR Date and Time: May 20, 2015, 2:00 PM Eastern Location: http://snhu.adobeconnect.com/GeoTechCenterWebinars Presenter: Adam Dastrup Affiliation: Salt Lake Community College and GeoTech Center Title: “Integrating a Degree Qualifications Profile within a Geo-related Program” Abstract: The goal for an academic department or program using the Degree Qualifications Profile<http://degreeprofile.org/> (DQP), as outlined by the Lumina Foundation for Education<http://www.luminafoundation.org/>, is to demonstrate to students what to clearly expect going through a particular program and the ultimate knowledge and skill sets they should obtain as they successfully advance through the associate, bachelors, and graduate levels of their academic career. The Geosciences Department<http://www.slcc.edu/geosciences/> at Salt Lake Community College has chosen to focus on the Geography and Geospatial Technology programs for the DQP because of the current development of the program, as well as the successful use of ePortfolios and other high impact pedagogies (e.g. learning communities, project-based assessments, capstone, service learning and undergraduate research) throughout the curriculum. The goal of the department is to develop a student-focused model and framework, using the Geography for Life standards by the National Council for Geographic Education and the Department of Labor’s Geospatial Technology Competency Model for students to be more intentional in their academic pursuits in Geography and related geospatial technologies with clear goals and outcomes defined by national and industry-driven standards. Length: 40-45 minutes: There will be ample time for questions and answers following the presentation.
