Additional SLO questions regarding transfer of thecontents of short-term memory to long-term memory and/or the use of multisensory encoding would assess deeper levelsof learning.STEP 5 = Apply results towardimproved instruction and learninga) Describe plans for improvement (viainstruction or other student support).b) Describe improvements actuallyimplemented (when applicable).The 100% student success level confirms that the instructional techniques used in the workshop were successful. Theresults do not indicate a need to modify the short-term memory component of the Memory Improvement workshop. In thefuture, we will develop SLO’s that assess other components of the workshop such as multisensory encoding and accessinglong-term memory.Note: This workshop was not offered in Spring 2008.Comments:- 227 -
