It gives a newperspective to the exhibit materials for the purpose of accreditation.Introduction In most of the classroom education, the instructor delivers a brilliant lecture tohis/her satisfaction. However, an effective teacher would like to know how much of theknowledge has been absorbed or learned by the students from the lecture. While learningis proportional to instruction, the essential link between them is assessment. The processof instruction involves continuous decision making by an instructor. The instructordecides what to teach, how to teach, how much to teach, how long to teach, what toreview, what to ask in the test, and how to evaluate the test. These

For example, one of group members stated, “We’d like to know what happens inother departments, other schools. […]. Not necessarily sit down in one room and talkabout it. I think that is too time-consuming. But if you can summarize what other peopleare doing in simple materials and disseminate, that would be very helpful.” Another wayof disseminating “teaching wisdom” across departments is through the design memosmentioned earlier in this paper.
