Project Briefing: Transformative Assessment in the Educational Process Colleen Carmean Director of Consulting Services for Information Technology Arizona State University West and EDUCAUSE NLII Fellow Joan Lippincott Associate Executive Director Coalition for Networked Information Robin Zuniga Associate Director, The Flashlight Program The TLT Group Many institutions seek to collect data on the impact that their large investments in information technology have made on their campuses. The Transformative Assessment Project (TAP) provides a framework for institutions to develop assessment strategies tailored to their institutional missions and programs. The project encourages institutional teams who are assessing the impact of technology on teaching and learning to align their assessment activities with institutional goals. Through an in-person focus session and online course/community, institutions participated in the first offering of TAP in the spring of 2002. The project was developed as a collaborative initiative of EDUCAUSE's National Learning Infrastructure Initiative (NLII), CNI, and the Flashlight Program of the TLT Group. This session will include a discussion of the concept of transformative assesment, a description of the project, and a report on one campus's implementation of TAP.
