AAC&U Symposium 2010: The Search for VALUE: Innovation, Economic Uncertainty, and E-Portfolio Assessment
by xolotl | 23 April 2010 - 1:26am
Washington
District of Columbia
In the pre-meeting symposium, participants will contribute to the national dialogue about the need for high quality measurement of student learning through multiple expert assessments of the quality of student work rather than standardized testing. They will explore in depth the potential of e-portfolios as well as the barriers to their widespread adoption.
This symposium grows out of the work of AAC&U’s VALUE Project (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education). VALUE provides national leadership for new ways of thinking about assessment.

Thought Experiments for Sakai: Keep It Simple Like Twitter & Draw Good Boundaries Like Drupal
by xolotl | 30 March 2009 - 9:39pmI admit I've been lurking in a very slackernly manner in all the discussions in the Sakai community about content authoring, 3akai, UX, K2, Sakai NG and other unpronounceables, so I'm sorry if all this is a day late and a dollar short. Feel free to ignore me if you're part of Sakai and are way too far gone for any more input. After all, these are just thought experiments ;) If you're not part of Sakai, you might learn something about Drupal at least, so it may well be worth your time.
