WIDS

After reading Casey's assessment plan for her journalism class, I gained an appreciation for WIDS or as my wife refers to it Squids. WIDS id basically a database that organizes and link course outcomes with learning plans. I would have like to see some structure in Casey's plan. I have never been a proponent of WIDS because by focusing on organization we may avoid focusing on the real issue - learning. But organization does serve a purpose. It is kind of like grammar and syntax in writing. Not the most important thing, but does have some value.
