CALL FOR PROPOSALS AVAILABLE NOW FOR FEBRUARY 2010 CONFERENCE ON "ASSESSMENT FOR THE CHANGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT"
Session proposals are due September 18, 2009 Assessment of student learning and educational programs is more critical than ever now, as institutions scrutinize more closely the return from ever more limited resources. What’s more, assessment today has to take into account learning and working environments characterized by accelerating change. The primary goals of this conference are, first, to explore the implications of changes in the learning environment for how colleges and universities frame their approaches to student assessment, and second, what new opportunities exist in our rapidly changing working environment to strengthen assessment practices and make them more efficient and productive. We invite proposals for concurrent sessions that address the conference theme by disseminating and modeling effective practice or promoting stimulating dialogue, inquiry, and problem-solving on this theme.
Conference takes place February 19–20, 2010 in Bloomington, Minnesota To download an electronic copy of the full CFP for this conference, please visit:
