PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Waypoint Outcomes Chief Executive Officer Andrew J. McCann will speak at the tenth annual Texas A&M University Assessment Conference being held Feb. 22-23 in College Station, Texas.

The Texas A&M University Assessment Conference provides a platform for academic professionals to showcase industry trends, assessment standards and benchmarks.

McCann will present Thinking Beyond Grades: A Rich Report Card on Achievement, a demonstration on how a Drexel University professor successfully addressed communication, critical thinking and assessment in a research skills course.  

The presentation includes a real-world case study on how rubric and self-assessment technologies improved Drexel University students' learning outcomes by providing higher quality feedback to students and increasing course evaluation scores.

McCann, an expert in rubric and assessment design who has worked with institutions ranging from grade school through graduate school, founded Waypoint Outcomes in 2003 to commercialize software he developed to improve feedback to learners while developing data on their achievement.

More than 35 institutions, including schools in the United States, Canada and Europe, use Waypoint Outcomes. The Web-based technology is used to create exceptional feedback for tens of thousands of students, to manage course evaluations, and to generate rich data on learning outcomes.
