Mohler and Sadanala Earn Innovation Awards

For her project, “Using Skillabi Data for Classroom Reflection and Mock Interviews,” Mohler constructed a final-day-of-the-semester activity in which students reflected on course outcomes and Skillabi data that demonstrated the job skills students acquired in the major. Students then used these reflections in mock interviews to practice articulating those skills to future employers, gain confidence in the skills they acquired, and increase their success navigating the job market.
Sadanala’s project, “Advancing Student Excellence through Peer-Led Pedagogy,” enhances student engagement and learning outcomes by implementing peer-led sessions and collaborative assessments, empowering students to take an active role in their education while fostering critical skills like research, communication and teamwork.
