| Assessment Tools |
Running time: 4 minutes, 36 seconds |
| Mike Mana describes two tools that were created during the collaboration with his students. One of these is the “blocked syllabus” in which only two weeks of the syllabus schedule is presented at a time. This allows for greater flexibility during the course of the quarter. The other strategy is the integration of a research paper and presentation poster assignment.

Technology Note:
Because the Innovative Teaching Showcase is an annual web publication,
each year's set of Multimedia Showcase pages was designed to provide
the best playback experience for the user, given available streaming
video technologies at WWU in the year it was developed. For this
reason, the various showcase pages may require your web browser
to have Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or the Real
Player browser plugins. The player that is required is indicated
below each video clip. More information is available on the How
to Use This Showcase page.
