What this session is NOTTechnicalA Sales PitchFeature-LadenPassive

This is not a technical presentation. That video on how to use all of the features of our Performance (reporting) section will be emailed out to all of you who have signed in. We will NOT be looking at all of the features in the reporting section of Connect. You will be asked your opinion so this session will be ACTIVE. And if you are here, your department, more than likely, already has Connect so I am not going to try and sell you anything.4

Section Two: Why use reporting?

Imagine this:

A student comes to you at midterm and wants to have a discussion. This student has poor grades and has never come to your office before. You have to check to even see if he/she is in your class. You are about to assign the final which is a large portion of the course grade. What kinds of questions/complaints do you think they will have? What kinds of questions do you think they wont ask you?6

Failure is only information, if you learn from it.

What reactions do you have to this statement? How do you think your students would react to this statement? How do you structure your courses so that feedback is a built in learning tool and not a graded currency that stands in the way of student learning?7

Post secondary assessment done right must be rooted in the course and in the classroom, in the individual cells, to speak metaphorically, where the metabolism of learning actually takes place (Wright, 1999)

You get what you design and what you measure is what you get (WYMIWYG) so target assessment on the important aspects of the course, program or service
