General Education & Assessment 3.0: Next Level Practices Now
March 3-5, 2011 (Chicago, IL) //Assessment to Document Achievement and Deepen Learning at Multiple Levels// CS 34: **Bringing Assessment of Curricular Technology into Institution-Wide Assessment Conversations**

Assessing the effects of curricular technology on student learning in general education is a challenge at many institutions. However, leaders in academic technology and the library—who are principally responsible for the effective integration of information technology into the curriculum—are now joining broader assessment conversations. In this facilitated discussion, participants will explore collaboration as a mechanism to integrate assessment efforts surrounding curricular technology into overall assessment practices at the institutional level. They will also work together to develop plans for internal and external collaborations for the integration of assessment efforts to serve larger institutional goals. This session will be particularly relevant to participants from liberal arts institutions.

Facilitators: **Sondra R. Smith**, Co-CIO for IT & Director of Educational Technologies, St. Lawrence University; **Carol L. Smith**, Chief Information Officer, DePauw University; **Dave Baird,** Director of Academic Technologies, Colgate University; **Brendt Simpson**, Director of Institutional Planning and Research, Colgate University
