Updates of Icesi + UniNorte Visit

Recently Ed Coyle, director of VIP @ GT, visited two universities in Colombia to help facilitate and encourage VIP. Here is a quote from Dr. Coyle after his visit:

 

"The first day of my trip to Colombia was spent at Universidad ICESI in Colombia. It is a really amazing campus (an arboretum-class campus) that is full of very entrepreneurial people. In the short time since Efrain and AndrĂ©s attended the VIP Consortium, they have created three VIP teams and have implemented one of the best credit-use policies I have seen.

 

They are also working closely with Universidad del Norte on many issues within VIP. 

 

The VIP Program at Universidad del Norte has already spread to ME from ECE...I demo'd the grading and peer eval tools that Randy [Randal Abler, VIP Co-Director @ GT] and his crew have developed and showed them the scan of our VIP notebooks...I spent almost a full hour answering questions posed by one administrator. This may thus be a good example of how we can help other VIP sites and why in-person visits are sometimes really crucial to the success of a site."

 

 

Thank you again to everyone from Icesi and Universidad del Norte for making this trip possible! We look forward to watching your VIP sites grow!
