Assessment Day Fall 2020: Best Practices in Assessment

Breakout Session Instructions

• BO Sessions are organized by department and will last approximately 1 hour in a google folder.

• In your departmental BO session, your group will have a choice to work on different activities:
  • Designing an Effective Assessment Process
  • Improving Data Collection
  • Understanding & Using Data

Depending upon where your department is with assessment, you may choose to work on only one activity (or even one question), or you may divvy up the work amongst yourselves and work on different activities. The goal here is to spend time thinking about how your department can improve overall assessment processes efforts.

Each department will have a google folder with worksheets that address the aforementioned topics.  

Choose a topic and begin working in your folder!

BO Room Logistics

• You will be funneled into BO by department.
• All participants should be able to share screens in their BO rooms.
• Any chats that are generated in the BO stay in the BO room; neither the main rooms or other rooms can see your chats when you are in a designated BO room.
• Sondra and Courtney will be dropping BO rooms to answer questions/provide comments.
• If you get stuck, there is a button to "Ask for Help".  This will send a message to tech staff. They will either alert Sondra to stop by another room. The other option is to have one group member "leave" the BO room, come back to the main room, and ask for help.
• Please grant us a little patience! We have tested and tested this technology but not actually run it in a live session before!
