Meeting Goals

  • Provide material developers feedback on their assessments and student work that would help them in revising course materials. Grading Feedback (private workspace)
  • Analyze reviews of assessments and student work to determine the degree to which we can document student progress toward meeting module/InTeGrate goals/guiding principles. Determine plan and process for using our scoring rubric to document project assessment.
  • Analyze systems thinking essay data to determine suitability of questions.
  • From a team discussion, identify what types of data we have, determine what types of questions the data can help us address, and where (journals?) is appropriate vehicle for disseminating
  • Identify the work plans for 2015-2016, who is assigned, and who we would like to add to the team
