[Assessment 510] News from the Special CollectionMarie Cora marie.cora at hotspurpartners.comWed Sep 20 09:05:45 EDT 2006
Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all. I would like to let you know that some final revisions have been made to the new Special Collection in Assessment website. You can find the Collection at: http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ These final revisions should be helpful to users: On the homepage, click on About This Site in the right toolbar; this provides you with an overview of the Collection and its features, as well as a brief history of the Special Collection and information on the CKG (Core Knowledge Group) - who are responsible for poplulating the site with quality resources. A listing of CKG members, past and present, is also there. A number of international resources have been added; these are sprinkled throughout the Collection - click on the 'roles' and look in the areas entitled "Program Planning" or "Planning Assessment". International resources are identified by name at the end of the abstract: i.e.: (New Zealand). Presently, resources from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are offered. Click on Links & Directories in the right toolbar on the homepage; many more links have been added here and they have been organized according to topic areas including <http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#InternationalResc> International Resources, <http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#K12Resc> K-12 Resources, and <http://midwestlincs.org/assessment/links.htm#ResearchOrgs> Research Organizations, as well as a wealth of resources focused directly on adult education, evaluation and testing. I hope that this re-organization of the links will be easier for the user than searching down a lengthy, alphabetized listing. Do you have suggestions for the Collection? Do you have resources or links in mind that you think should be a part of the Collection? Do you have a glossary that you think should be linked to the Collection? Do you have feedback for what's missing at the Collection? The least number of resources is in the Student area - what should be in this section? How can the Collection be improved to best suit your needs? Please let me know - this site is for your use, you should be a part of building it. I would like to send out a special thank you to Chris Cugino, Web Specialist at the Ohio Literacy Resource Center - Chris' work and creativity on the Collection are much appreciated!! marie Marie Cora NIFL Assessment Discussion List Moderator marie.cora at hotspurpartners.com Coordinator, LINCS Assessment Special Collection http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
