{ The Comp Blog }

Let me throw something else into the mix: electronic portfolios. I know Cindy is scared of developing "a program" around our class, and of course that makes sense. What I think we can do for "the program" however, is try out some tools--blogging, and maybe electronic portfolios. Our e-focus makes e-portfolios a pretty natural fit, I think.

Here are 3 links--the concept is pretty straight forward.

Of course now we need to figure out what we are going to do in the course. How are the readings going this summer, Cindy?

I suggested to Sybil that we could try 2 problems: (1) what do "you" need to know about writing in the digital age? and (2) how is the digital age writing you?

I'll keep trying to fill in some assignments.

here's a to-do list. claim your prize!

describe the course
identify outcomes/goals (have them match stated goals of program)
come up with assignments
come up with a rough calendar
draft Institutional Review Board request (IRB) so we can study the class (Kevin)
develop assessment goals (focus on Blogging and maybe E-Portfolios)
look for cool stuff on the web

please add.
