Assessment
Assessment helps you determine how well your learners understand course concepts and can communicate those concepts effectively.
Two types of assessment can help gauge success. Formative assessment, activities that periodically solicit learner feedback, measure if and how well a student is learning during facilitation. Summative assessment, activities like final exams and papers, occur at the end of the learning process and are equally important.
Our Instructional Design team can help you:
- Design learning experiences focused on mastering the core competencies of a course or program.
- Diversify the communication methods used to give and receive feedback.
- Revise instructions to increase clarity of expectations for learners
- Create and edit rubrics using learning taxonomies and/or inclusive pedagogy criteria
- Use digital tools for assessment (examples: Canvas, ExamSoft, Qualtrics, etc.)
