type iconIntroduction to Drupal
This workshop introduces users to the basic functions for creating and publishing content to a Drupal website at Appalachian. Users who will be maintaining a website are required to attend. Please note the prerequisites.

Having a Drupal site is a prerequisite because we have found that it is easier to retain information from the workshop if you have a site to work on already. However, people who are interested in learning how to use Drupal are welcome to attend as well.
Introduction to Xitracs for Academic Programs
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss assessment at Appalachian after our most recent SACS reaccreditation and to introduce Xitracs as the new assessment reporting tool on campus. This workshop is geared toward academic programs with mainly student learning outcomes. Participants will revisit the purpose of assessment at Appalachian and discuss the key components to a successful assessment process. Facilitators will demonstrate how to archive assessment data from TracDat and how to upload an assessment report into Xitracs.
