Presented by Paul Maher

Thursday, August 19 | 1:00 to 2:00 PM

Assessments in your course and the way they are structured have a significant impact on student’s learning experience. Assessments guide learners on what to study and frame what they ultimately learn within the course.  A well-designed assessment can be a means by which to motivate and engage students on coursework. This session will review a range of different strategies along with key considerations of setting up assessments within remote and hybrid contexts.  Included in the topics covered are the following:

            •           Engagement, motivation & value

            •           Authentic & alternative assessment

            •           low-stakes & cumulative  assessment

            •           Gamification & interaction

            •           Active learning

This session will feature an active component and also provide an opportunity for participants to share experiences, insights and challenges. If format or timing does not suit, consider instead a one-on-one consultation with Paul Maher.
