COMFO
The Interdisciplinary List-serve for Outcomes Assessment
Over
the years, we have watched as newly designated assessment
coordinators, departmental representatives, faculty, administrators,
and institutional researchers have sought sources of information
about outcomes assessment.
The
best ways to get immersed in assessment are still through key
publications like Jossey Bass' Assessment Update and
national or regional conferences such as IUPUI's Assessment
Conference in Indianapolis.
There
is also a need for a dynamic forum through which conversations
started at these meetings can be continued. New practitioners
should be able to join the conversations and get the information
that they need to get started and remain engaged. Experienced
practitioners should be able to keep up with new questions and new
ideas. There is so much that we can learn from each other.
To
address this need, PACAT/NOMESys has teamed with GNOMEwebs to
start a free non-commercial email list-serve for post-secondary
outcomes assessment. The list is by subscription and can be
received either as individual posts or in digest format. The list
is called College Outcomes Measurement Forum Online (COMFO).
Subscribing is easy. Send a message to
this address and in the body of the message type
subscribe COMFO your
name
You
will receive a return message acknowledging your subscription and
containing instructions for changing to digest format or
unsubscribing. If this does not work, send us an email message describing the problem and you will
be manually added to the subscriber list.
