Improving Learning through Grading and Record Keeping
Presenter: Jane E. Pollock,
Ph.D.
The purpose of the seminar
is to improve grading, and record keeping in order to improve individual

technology to learn” in order to enhance the feedback process
for students and teachers.
The participant will:
• Learn about sharing useful feedback with learners
• Learn how and why to gather data by benchmarks
• Learn to modify current record keeping and consider using
electronic gradebooks
• Learn to use a variety of scoring devices, including rubrics
• Learn to use grading and record keeping in conferencing
