34. Compatibility Not only is Waypoint in alignment with our organization’s goal of consistent, rubric-based, data driven institutional strategy, it’s also integrated with our LMS, Blackboard. These elements make Waypoint compatible with institutional objectives and faculty and student ease of use.

35. Low complexity Although the Waypoint interface is fairly free of complexity, as with all new technologies, it does require training and ongoing support. Once familiar with its use, the tool is easily adoptable by end-users. http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=810&nonjscomme nt=true&comment_itemid=810&comment_context=108&comment_ar ea=database_entry

36. Observability The use of Waypoint has an instant effect on the need for faculty to conduct consistent, rubric-based grading with detailed feedback. Faculty and students immediately see the feedback and graded rubric in the Blackboard grade center. Being able to observe the benefits of this innovation improves its ability for diffusion. http://www.cesinusa.com/Applications1.html
