> > possibly, activities that assess and enhance students' 
> > learning.
> > 
> > 2. Assignments
> > In this section of the workshop you will have an 
> > opportunity to create, evaluate and work through a few 
> > assignments. Our goal is for you to come away with at 
> > least one idea for an assignment for your course.
