The Assessment Discussion List is offering a series of guests for you
to
have discussion with and pose questions to. All the guests have
expertise in various areas of assessment processes and tools. Guests
will join myself, the moderator, on the list for one week intervals.
We
will suggest that you take a look at certain background materials
before
each guest's appearance. If you have suggestions for either a guest or
for a particular assessment topic (I can search out someone with
expertise in that area), please do not hesitate to send me that
information. Here is the schedule to date:
