This October, the Innovative Learning team invites instructors who teach courses at Purdue in Indianapolis to a series of Wednesday morning webinars designed to highlight Innovative Learning resources and address individual questions. Please register to attend any or all sessions, 9-10 a.m., Oct. 9, 16, and 23.

Session One (Oct. 9): How to Get the Most out of Course Evaluations
This session will discuss the process behind Purdue course evaluations, including the end-of-semester and mid-semester student surveys. We will also discuss questions about participation, ways to maximize the feedback students can provide, and interpretation of results.

Session Two (Oct. 16): How to Get the Most Out of Instructional Data Processing
Instructional Data Processing (IDP) plays a crucial role in instruction by offering a range of services designed to support faculty. We are committed to being customer-driven and offering dependable instructional support. Our services include accurate test scoring, Gradescope scanning, proctoring services, and processing of course evaluations. This session will introduce you to our services in detail and explain how IDP can assist you in achieving your educational goals at Purdue University. We will provide time to address questions about how these services might work in your courses.

Session Three (Oct. 23): How to Navigate the End of the Semester
This session will help you prepare for the end of the semester, covering final grade calculation, final grade submission, incomplete grades, and getting ready for Spring 2025. After providing an overview of these topics, we will focus the remainder of the session on answering your questions.
