This project is designed to elicit new ideas about assessment practices and systems that will transform teaching and learning, and to help institutions of higher education put these ideas into action. There will be three coordinated aspects of this program: - A Focus Session: Transformative Assessment: Step One, which is scheduled for September 14, 2001 in Denver. - An applied online course following the focus session - An online community to guide and support assessment teams as they implement these ideas at their institutions. As a CNI member institution, you are invited to send up to three individuals from your institution to the September 14 Focus Session without paying a registration fee. You must contact me directly (joan@cni.org) to obtain a confirmation number so that you may register without paying a fee. Enrollment is limited. Descriptions of the overall program and the Focus Session are available at http://www.educause.edu/nlii/meetings/nlii014/tap.asp If your institution is interested in becoming more involved in assessment related to technology, teaching, and learning, this should be an excellent opportunity for staff to gain requisite skills and develop an assessment plan along with their peers from other institutions.
