2002 Spring Focus Session DetailsGeneral SessionsDemo of READY System, Next Steps and Wrap up.Friday, March 15, 2002 READY is a Web-based decision engine to help higher education institutions determine their organizational, cultural, financial, and philosophical readiness to expand their use of technology in various realms of instructional and administrative activity. It is structured as a series of self-assessment questions that will lead users to descriptive conclusions, and resources for further analysis. A special "branch" of the READY system that has been developed to evaluate institutional readiness to use assessment to transform teaching and learning, will be demonstrated. The TAP online workshop and learning/knowledge creation community will also be introduced. Finally, the "seeds" that were harvested during this focus session - the emerging principles, patterns, and promising practices for transformative assessment - will be discussed, and we'll talk about what our next steps should be to continue this work.
