The VCT Statewide Testing Task Force has build the workshops around the software chosen for the Discovery Grant. Workshops include instruction in test and test item construction, evaluation strategies, and test administration. Faculty have the opportunity to experience the latest technologies for assessment, including audio and video streaming, animations, and Internet-based simulations. Each district's participants will be identified by Virtual College of Texas contacts. Along with test center administrators, faculty are being chosen based upon project-defined criteria, including their commitment to teach Internet courses and ability to share the results with their own schools.
All workshops are hands-on and on site at the stated locations.
An on-line registration form for workshops is available. VCT contacts on your site may provide details. Additional project information is available at the Virtual College of Texas website . Please feel free to contact Alma Adamez or Santos Martinez for any additional information. A workshop agenda , available in this site, provides an overview.
