I'm thinking either Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) or Authentic Assessment.

For the job aid I think I'm going to work on one of these two topics since I would end up  with something that would be practical for my work, even if I may have to go through a couple of iterations to get it just right. I actually think that I will eventually end up doing both since I really can use them to help myself explain those things to a few people.

Although knowing these things and how to do them should be bread and butter for those teaching at our college; the reality is that only a handful of faculty work semi-regularly on these things. A majority of faculty work on their SLOs just as the accreditation cycle is about to renew itself. As for assessments; there is a large number (that I am unable to quantify at this moment, but large) of faculty who use publisher's quizzes only to assess student work. To a lesser extent than for SLOs accreditation also seems to get them interested in exploring alternatives to quizzes. 

I am still tossing ideas in my mind about which of these is more feasible and practical to do first. I am also assessing to what extent of preciseness to go into without making it into a book. These concepts/themes are not simple, and therefore require depth of coverage, but I think that for training purposes a job aid could be used to scaffold upwards towards a more comprehensive training.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome and appreciated.
