Overview
In this interactive online workshop, we will discuss what makes an assessment “authentic” and how to design authentic assessments, where students apply knowledge to real-world scenarios or products, to support student success. We will discuss the design considerations and tools for authentic assessments. Participants will have the opportunity to develop an authentic assessment for their course and discuss their design with colleagues.
After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:
- Examine the benefits, challenges, and design considerations of authentic assessments.
- Identify tools to use for authentic assessments.
- Identify the varying facilitation, ownership, and independence levels that can occur during authentic assessments.
- Develop an authentic assessment.
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop will be online on Zoom.
