<DIV>Dear Colleague</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Edith Cowan University and Queensland University of Technology are
submitting a joint tender to the Carrick Institute to obtain funding that will
enable us to develop<FONT color=#000000> a database driven Website showcasing
examples of best practice in Media and Communication assessment from
institutions both within Australia and beyond.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are hoping to produce a site where Media and Communication teachers can
find strong assessment examples they can use in their own teaching. The
database is planned to contain actual examples of best practice in M&C
assessment so that teachers can model these in their own teaching (as distinct
from conceptual or theoretical examples).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To achieve these ambitious aims, we are looking for teachers from other
institutions with an interest in this area, to join our team. We are trying to
get members from as many institutions as we can to join the team. Involvement in
the team will mean some or all of the following activities depending on a
person's interest and time commitments:</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>attending a 1-day workshop (in Melbourne?) to plan the activity
<LI>the development of a rubric to assist in the identification/validation of
high quality assessment examples in M&C
<LI>providing an example(s) of your own high quality assessment practice in
M&C for inclusion in the database
<LI>sourcing examples of high quality assessment in M&C from others for
inclusion in the database
<LI>evaluating examples of high quality assessment in M&C for inclusion in
the database</LI></UL>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will be seeking funding from Carrick for the 1 day workshop, a project
manager to coordinate the activities and some money for development of the
database ($100K).</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>We believe multi-institutional participation is a critical component of our
proposal to identify, critique and build a useful set of resources as well as
integral to the process of effective dissemination.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are seeking expressions of interest from teachers in Media and
Communication from universities throughout Australia and ask that if this
project interests you that you let us know. Perhaps if you are not able to
participate yourself, you have a colleague who might be.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We would be very happy to hear back from you as soon as possible, or from a
colleague, if there is interest and a willingness to be involved in the project
which we anticipate will run for the second half of 2005 and first half of
2006.</DIV>
