High-impact practices (HIPs) are an evidence-based way to increase student engagement and create a valuable student learning experience. Attending one or all of OEIA's Spring Workshop Series will provide unparalleled opportunities to involve students in the co-construction of knowledge, leading to enhancement of their learning, success, and professional development.

High-impact practices (HIPs) provide unparalleled opportunities to engage students in the co-construction of knowledge, leading to enhancement of their learning, success, and professional development. While the literature describes the affordances of numerous HIPs, it can be unclear as to how one effectively selects and integrates HIP(s) into their courses. In this session, we will address this concern by providing a brief overview of several HIPs and considerations/strategies for their adoption in the classroom.
This session will provide attendees with structured time to generate and describe ideas for a new or refined HIP that could be implemented within their courses or programs. Feedback provided by peers and session facilitators will aid attendees in shaping their goals, objectives, and activities to maximize student-level outcomes.
As is the case with any innovation, we want to know if it “worked.” In this workshop, we will discuss how quantitative and qualitative approaches can be employed to evaluate and/or assess HIPs-related outcomes. Attendees will have an opportunity to apply those strategies to hypothetical cases and to map specific evaluation and assessment strategies to their own HIPs objectives.
HIPs are only intended to be implemented a single time, right? Not so fast. In our final week of HIPs, we will discuss how assessments and evaluations play a crucial role in ensuring the effectiveness of high-impact practices (HIPs) by providing evidence of their impact on student learning and engagement. A comprehensive approach to assessing HIPs should consider both the impact of these practices on student outcomes and the equity of access to these practices
