Why create a “protocol” for faculty?

• Digital assignments are a new “wild west” for many faculty and students

• Designing & refining an assignment with intentionality and clear goals, resources, etc. is best practice

• Digital assignments require “extra foci”• Experience has taught us that guided

support fosters success

Goals of protocol• For DMS: organized, consistent process for working

with, and supporting, faculty and students• For i2a: assignments designed, delivered and

assessed with intentionally and critical thinking skills in mind

Questions for Feedback

• Does this process seem user-friendly, too onerous or something in between?

• Is the assignment design too long and involved?

• Will faculty be willing to do a final report?• Should we require it, or make it optional?
