Assessment in Digital Learning (25SP-ADL-2)

Description

This course explores and applies the concept of assessment as a design tool that allows you to build a course centered around equitable student learning. In this course, we’ll explore a design process called the assessment loop, looking at the ways clear learning outcomes, thoughtfully designed assessments, and analysis of assessment results can help you engage your students and build a better course. The course covers developing assessment rubrics using the Canvas tool, writing clear unit-level learning goals, aligning assessments to learning goals, developing authentic summative assessments, assessment rubrics, and developing formative assessments that provide rich and meaningful feedback for students. In addition, explore various assignment options in Canvas, and develop an overarching plan for using assessments in digital learning environments.
