Data

The DC Co-Lab’s data-directed infrastructure concentrates on past and present impact of the organization in order to improve future educational outreach of humanities in schools. By encompassing vital terminology and easy-to-access reports such as the House of Data into the glossary, the DC community will gain a better understanding of the significance of arts programs, initiatives, workshops, and more.

Assessment- Gathering, summarizing, and interpreting data to provide useful feedback for the improvement of teaching and learning. Assessment is feedback from the student to the instructor about the student’s learning. (Source: https://www.gadoe.org/ and https://www.unl.edu/gradstudies/connections/assessment-vs-evaluation)

Evaluation- Uses methods and measures to judge student learning and understanding of the material for purposes of grading and reporting. Evaluation is feedback from the instructor to the student about the student’s learning. Program evaluation involves methods and analysis that answer questions to inform programmatic improvement.
