Information About Ascend For Faculty
​
Are you…
Looking to get real-time feedback on your students’ learning conditions so that you can make impactful changes during the semester?
Curious about how to improve academic outcomes for your students without dramatically changing the structure or materials of your course?
Brainstorming how to gather evidence of teaching effectiveness (as required by tenure and promotion standards) beyond end-of-course SIRS?
The P3 Collaboratory, along with our partners in Academic Technology Services, are happy to support Ascend, a pedagogical learning tool that enables the collection of anonymized student feedback across a semester (or academic term) and aligns your students’ responses with evidence-based instructional strategies for your professional development.

Are you concerned about your students' belonging? Do you wish you could get real-time feedback from your students during the semester?
The Ascend Survey is the perfect solution because it helps college-level instructors collect real-time data on their students’ classroom experiences and learning conditions. When and where trends in student data emerge, the Ascend platform includes information about teaching strategies with a demonstrated correlation to improving student experiences in that area. Join us to learn more about the benefits of using the Ascend platform to understand the importance of the student experience and provide optimal learning conditions. We will be joined by David Frantzreb, Partnership Manager at PERTS (the developers of Ascend), and Joy McDonald, Associate Director, Academic Technology Services.
