Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT)

TILT or Transparency in Learning and Teaching is a scientifically researched framework that is proven to promote college students' success. The framework advises the 3 aspects of Purpose, Task and Criteria to be incorporated into all assignments, coursework & assessments and explicitly communicated to students at the outset. This approach vastly improves student success, especially for first-generation, low income and underrepresented college students. 

This approach aims to promote an inclusive learning environment, offer equitable learning opportunities for underserved students and  improve learner persistence and retention rates.    

In the Digital Multimeter Activity / Lab, I incorporated the TILT Framework by explicitly stating information under the 3 categories of Purpose, Task and Criteria, on the first page of the activity on Canvas. I found the TILT checklist  very useful to ensure that I incorporate the most important aspects of the framework into the lesson plan. 

Overall, the TILT Framework ensured that I was effectively able to 'set the stage' and cohesively highlight the most important parts of the activity / lab on the introduction page.
