PHILADELPHIA, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Waypoint Outcomes CEO Andrew J. McCann will speak at the Innovations 2010 Conference being held March 28-31 in Baltimore, Maryland.

The 13th annual conference, hosted by the League for Innovations in the Community College, provides a forum for collaboration among academic experts and leading community college professionals to improve teaching and learning with technologies from around the world.

McCann will present The Power of Feedback: Self-Assessment and Feedback in Introductory and English as a Second Language Courses (ESL,) a demonstration on how professors use Waypoint Outcomes software to provide in-depth one-on-one feedback to students.

"Insightful, constructive critiques of student's assignments are essential to an effective learning experience," McCann said. "Quality feedback is much more than a grade on a paper. Innovations in technology provide us with tools to enhance student/teacher communications."

McCann, an expert in rubric and assessment design who has provided service to institutions from grade schools to graduate schools, founded Waypoint Outcomes in 2003 to improve feedback to learners while developing data on their achievements.
