CDF Workshop: Assessment Fundamentals
May 22, 2024 at 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
| Location: | Online |
| Cost: | Free |
Assessment is often one of the most dreaded parts of teaching and learning. But as challenging as it can be, designing sound assessments is critical to the success of your course.
In this workshop, you’ll participate in activities that will enable you to:
- Define the purpose of assessment and its place in the course design process
- Differentiate between formative and summative assessments
- Explain the core principles of sound assessment, & some strategies for implementing them
- Create and explain an assessment plan for a learning outcome in one of your own courses
You’ll leave this session with refreshed ideas on a range of assessment principles and purposes, and an appreciation of the importance of designing assessment strategies as one of the first stages of course design.
This session is intended for all participants who are involved in designing learning experiences, in any delivery format.
Space is limited. Please register in advance by filling out the form below.
This is part of Course Design Fundamentals, offered by TLS.
