Friday, November 6th 10:00-11:00—Formative and Authentic Assessment Online with Sara McCurry

Session Description:

Assessment can present both challenges and opportunities for a faculty tasked with moving classes online so rapidly. In this workshop, we will discuss a variety of formative and authentic assessment strategies that will work online and that promote equity.

Formative assessments can help students build up their confidence through low-stakes knowledge and skills checks and help you provide "just-in-time" reinforcement of key concepts and skills that students need to be successful as they progress through your courses.

Authentic assessments ask students to actively engage in real world tasks with your course material, and they are generally more fun and meaningful for students and, consequently, more effective for you!

Come get some ideas and inspiration for formative and authentic assessments and be ready to share any successful strategies that you're already using!
