Tidewater Assignment Design Workshop

Faculty from VCCS colleges and 4-year universities in the greater Hampton Roads area are invited to talk and learn together about designing effective assignments for students. Sponsored by the Tidewater Regional Center for Teaching Excellence (RCTE), with the support of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA), this highly interactive workshop will introduce concepts that support effective assignment design. Participants will then be led through a process of giving and receiving feedback on their own assignments. Coffee and lunch will be provided.

Participation is free, but a fee may be assessed for late cancellations and no-shows. By registering for this event, you agree to the terms of the VCCS Special Events Cancellation and Fee Policy.

The workshop will be led by Laura M. Gambino, associate dean for assessment and technology and professor of information technology at Guttman Community College (CUNY). Gambino oversees assessment of Guttman’s institutional student learning outcomes, periodic program reviews, and assessment of programs such as Summer Bridge, global learning, and academic support. A leading ePortfolio practitioner and researcher, Gambino oversees the college’s institution-wide ePortfolio program, leads the Integrated Planning and Advising for Student Success (iPASS) project, has presented nationally and internationally, and regularly serves as a consultant to higher education institutions.
