Interesting finds from my 2012 Bb ECP Reviews

Similarly to the Q's Query doc for student issues, the BlendedSchools.net courses have a link on the course menu, hidden from students but available to instructors called "Report an Error". It takes them to a page that looks like this: http://blendedschools.net/Includes/curricuerror.html

Bb Instructor PDP - Question Analytics

This was my third PDP session thus far for 2011-2012, and I thought I would post about it since I think this topic might make a good special project for our department when we are ready to tackle more advanced things. Idea: Conduct a special research project with our UG monitors that has them review the exam items for validity using Bb QA.

The PDP today was about a new question analytics tools that Bb is designing. Question Analytics (QA) tool is tentatively slated for SP10 delivery. Here are some screenshots from the PDP. Click on the images to view a larger version:
