Outcomes Assessment Forum
Friday, October 23, 2009
12:45 - 2:00 p.m.
President's Conference Room #2, Rosenthal Library
Light refreshments will be served

You are cordially invited to join Steven Schwarz (Office of the Provost) and Eva Fernández (Center for Teaching & Learning) in a conversation about outcomes assessment. Our objective is to frame the assessment tasks departments have been asked to carry out within a framework of general teaching and learning routines. We will explore the various functions of the following tools:

* Learning goals
* Rubrics
* Syllabi
* Assessment plans
* ePortfolios

We hope that each department will be able to send at least one representative.
Please RSVP with the Provost's Office, either by email (kimberly.mccants@qc.cuny.edu) or phone (718-997-5900), on or before 10/20 so that we may order refreshments and prepare handouts.

We look forward to seeing you next Friday.

Faculty participating in the Epsilen ePortfolio pilot are gathering to share impressions of experiences implementing Epsilen this semester.

To be included in the conversation: what's worked, what faculty perceive to be challenges, and next steps for both the Spring 2010 semester and next academic year. Also to be discussed: plans to submit two Tech Fee proposals relating to ePortfolios for next year:

1- a proposal to extend the pilot for year two
2- a request to fund student interns who can provide support to faculty and students in the implementation process.

If you aren't available or missed the Nov 17th gathering, please feel free to share your thoughts via email to c2perry@nyc.rr.com.
