Digication co-founders, Jeff Yan and Kelly Driscoll are exhibiting the Digication e-Portfolio and Assessment Management System at AAC&U’s 2010 Network for Academic Renewal Conference titled, “General Education and Assessment: Maintaining Momentum, Achieving New Priorities.” The conference is taking place February 18-20, 2010 in Seattle, Washington.

Conference themes include:
1. vision, goals, and designs of general education;
2. faculty engagement and collaboration, including with student affairs;
3. assessment and alignment; and
4. maintaining momentum, related to navigating change politically, structurally, and in a time of restricted resources.

Digication co-founders, Jeff Yan and Kelly Driscoll attended the annual AAC&U (Association of American Colleges and Universities) in Washington, D.C, Jan.17-20th.  The event started with a pre-conference symposium titled, “The Search for VALUE: Innovation, Economic Uncertainty, and E-Portfolio Assessment”.  In this day long symposium participants contributed to the national dialogue about the need for high quality measurement of student learning through multiple expert assessments of the quality of student work rather than standardized testing.  They explored in depth the potential of e-portfolios as well as the barriers to their widespread adoption.

Nearly 2,000 participants gathered together last week at AAC&U’s annual meeting, The Wit, The Will,…and the Wallet to learn, debate, and discuss how to maintain quality in undergraduate education even in the midst of challenging economic times.

Yan and Driscoll met many thought leaders from educational institutions across the country and were thrilled at the discussions that took place centered on experiential learning and reflective learning.

Digication is now preparing of the upcoming AAC&U Conference in Seattle February 18-20.  This Network for Academic Renewal Conference is titled “General Education and Assessment: Maintaining Momentum, Achieving New Priorities.”

We will be posting more information about this conference soon.  Hope to see you there!
