At 1pm on Friday Nov.20, DWRL staff will be holding a Learning Record workshop in FAC 9. This event is designed to give DWRL instructors a practical overview of how to implement the Learning Record as a system of evaluation in their classes. We will look closely at the Learning Record methodology in theory and practice, and explore how to use PBWorks wikis as a way to implement the Learning Record online. This workshop will be of interest to instructors of 309K, 310, 312, and E314 classes who wish to implement the Learning Record in their Spring classes, and to anyone already using the Learning Record who would like to check out using a wiki as a potential online platform. 306 instructors will also find this workshop useful as they plan for their 2010/11 teaching assignment.

For more information about the Learning Record, check out this Vimeo clip of Professor Peg Syverson's talk at the DWRL last year about "Social Justice and Evidence-Based Assessment with the Learning Record."

If you would like some time to develop a Learning Record plan, or if you wish to begin planning for your Spring class, there will be an open lab in FAC 9 between 2:30 and 5pm. Tech support and practical advice will be available for tweaking the great tech-based assignments you have already developed. If you wish to you add to your teaching portfolio by trying something new for the upcoming semester, then drop by if you need any help or want to chat about an idea.
