The Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success (IUPUI+), our new institutional undergraduate learning outcomes, have replaced the Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs) and Principles of Co-Curricular Learning (PCLs). They are written with an active orientation, using student-facing language, and are applicable to all student-facing units. Administrators of all undergraduate programs, and instructors of general education courses and capstone courses, are expected to be among the first to map their learning outcomes to IUPUI+.
In this hands-on workshop, facilitators will provide a brief overview of IUPUI+, share examples of academic and co-curricular programs and courses that already have been mapped, and introduce tools, resources, and processes that participants can use to map their own learning outcomes. Register for one of the following:
• Thursday, February 21, 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
• Tuesday, March 19, 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
• Monday, April 15, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
• Thursday, May 2, 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
