Background

My research looks to understand how effectively expectations are communicated, and how we can use this knowledge to implement methods that improve the effectiveness of this communication. My research has several major themes.

These are:

  • Understanding the current expectations of all stakeholders and whether they believe those expectations are being met.
  • The effectiveness of the means used to communicate expectation between stakeholders: do learners interpret information, such as learning objectives, in the same way as the instructors that wrote them? Do learners understand how assessment is used to evidence their competency in specific skills?
  • Are learning activities and assessment aligned to explicit learning goals?
