<b>Cross-Curricular Outcomes-Continued</b>
<i>Faculty Forum</i>
Friday, September 29
11:00 am-1:30 pm
A165
During the 2006 Spring Assessment Forum, we identified four cross-curricular learning outcomes that will be the focus of our assessment efforts: personal development, critical thinking, communication and literacy. In this forum, we will solidify the definitions of each of the outcomes and refine the language of the observable, measurable competencies that will be used to assess student achievement of these outcomes.
Your participation in this event will help to define where we go with our assessment activities over the next several years. We look forward to your attendance.

Using ePortfolio
Technology Basics

11:00 am-12:30 pm

Join Bill Homes, CGCC's Faculty Technology Liaison, to learn the basics of using ePortfolio. ePortfolio is an on-line course management system developed at CGCC to allow you to share announcements and documents with students, blog, post slide shows, create wikis, assess student learning through surveys and quizzes, and more. Instructors using ePortfolio often have students create ePortfolios for students to demonstrate learning. There is no login required for viewing a published ePortfolio; your students will be able to view and follow your class by going to an ePortfolio URL.
For a more in-depth workshop, be ready with any materials you would like to upload to an ePortfolio. If you want to learn a little about what you can do in ePortfolios, go to: http://myeport.com/published/t/es/test/home/1/ Faculty who attend this event should know their computer ID and password to be able to work in ePort. To obtain these, talk to your division chair. Adjunct-faculty currently teaching at CGCC who participate in this workshop will be paid at the non instructional or professional development rate of $24.95/hr.
