Dear CNIE Member,
We invite you to the January CIDER session at the Canadian Initiative for Distance Education Research. This free, online session will feature an overview and presentation of case studies by the Grading Soft Skills (GRASS) project team.
Title: The GRASS Project – measuring 21st Century learning: Innovative pedagogy and assessment with technology
Grading Soft Skills (GRASS) is a 3-year research project financially supported by the EU, focusing on representing soft skills of learners of various ages and at different levels of education in a quantitative, measurable way, so that these skills can become the subject of formal validation and recognition. This session will include an overview of the GRASS project, along with case studies of developing and measuring soft skills, presented by an international panel of project members: Vladan Devedzic, Jelena Jovanovic, Niall Seery, Adrian O’Connor, and Stephan Hrastinski.
