[samigo-team] DEADLINE EXTENDED! Submit your proposal for the 2012 Jasig-Sakai Conference by Fri, March 23

[Regan, Alan]

Dear  Samigo List,

My thanks to those that submitted the BoF!  Just a head's up that we officially extended the deadline by a few days -- until this Friday.  Anyone want to put together a "getting started" session to giving online assessments?  Tips, tricks, and pitfalls to avoid if a professor is considering moving from paper exams to online exams?

BTW, Pepperdine is bringing five faculty to the conference this year.  It would be great for them to learn how professors at other institutions are using Samigo and for what purpose (preparation, daily quizzes, final exams, surveys, midterm evaluations, etc.).

Wanted to share this faculty presentation we hosted about using Tests & Quizzes for preparation quizzes, in case it helps get the juices flowing for proposal ideas.  One of our professors in the Decision Sciences program talked about his use of Samigo in his classes (the good, the bad, and the unexpected).

See the notice below for the official extension notice and link.  Thanks, everyone!

Sincerely,
Alan Regan
