In 2003, McCann founded Waypoint Outcomes to commercialize software he developed to dramatically improve feedback to learners while developing data on their achievement. An expert in rubric and assessment design, McCann counsels K-12 and higher education clients on accreditation, e-learning and assessment activities to achieve excellence.

Waypoint originated with two challenges shared by all educators:
Creating the personalized, timely feedback that learners need, and
Measuring student progress in subjective (and important) areas like written communication, critical thinking, presentation skills, and information literacy.

Since 2004, when we started with two clients, educators have been passionate about Waypoint®.
Now, institutions in the US, Canada, and Europe use Waypoint to create better feedback for tens of thousands of students, to manage course evaluations, and to generate rich data on learning outcomes.
Much of our growth is due to word of mouth, although our clients frequently present at academic conferences and we exhibit at eLearning and accreditation conferences across the US.

In my organization, I believe the interactive rubric, Waypoint, meets the needs of our need for relative advantage, compatibility, low complexity, and observability (Rogers, 2003).
As a cutting-edge, state online school, Waypoint provides us the ability to link learning objectives to course objectives to program objectives as well as improve feedback and facilitate dialogue between the faculty and students. This provides us relative advantage over our peer institutions, which have no technology to support either of these important tasks.
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 Blackboard learning management system. These elements make Waypoint compatible with institutional objectives and faculty and student ease of use.
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.
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.
