The Process of Inquiry for Industry-Faculty Collaboration
This five-step process of inquiry and collaboration is used to engage industry and faculty in the design of authentic activities and their assessment.
| 1. Identify the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) with reference to industry standards |
| What should students know and be able to do in my class? How will this help them in the world of work? |
 |
| 2. Develop tasks (activities, projects, problems, cases, products) that will help students to demonstrate the SLOs identified |
| What kinds of classroom activities will help students to demonstrate and meet the SLOs? |
|
| 3. Review the SLOs and tasks with industry partners to verify that they are appropriate for both the classroom and workplace (template) |
| How will the tasks help students academically? How will these tasks engage and prepare students for the world of work? |
 |
| 4. Write performance criteria in the form of rubrics used to score student performance and products.Ask industry partners to review the rubrics (template) |
| What does good performance on this task look like? |
|
| 5. Review the rubrics with students to verify that they understand the criteria for successful performances and products. Modify the rubric as needed. |
