Pilot Round 2 — CT302 CPA Implementation In Progress
Where Pilot Round 1 is retrospective evidence, Pilot Round 2 is the CPA framework built forward into an actual course. CT302 Digital Product Design I now runs its full semester (15 weeks) on the 8-dimension Cognitive-Process Assessment framework, with every deliverable scored against it and every rubric dimension mapped to a specific Google tool.
This is the syllabus and gradebook Google will see evidence from at the Institute — the framework in practice, not just on paper.
