Assessment can be a scary word\, but it doesn’t have to be. Instead\, it should focus on letting faculty measure a student’s growth and how to tell if learning is taking place. Michael G. Strawser\, PhD\, Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida discusses how he uses authentic assessments in their classroom. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWhat is an authentic assessment?\nList and describe the key concepts and components of authentic assessment.\nExplain the importance of student-centered learning and how its relevant to course design and assessment.\nDiscuss the difficulties of implementing authentic assessment methods in teaching and learning\, considering their holistic and transformative nature and its benefits.

So\, what could the future of assessment and feedback look like? \nThe digital transformation of the education sector over the past two years — whether as an acceleration of a planned strategy or an emergency response — has changed the priorities for higher education. \nValuable lessons have been learned about equity\, learning design and interoperability. The move away from traditional exams to other forms of assessment has seen many students\, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds\, perform better. \nThe future of assessment and feedback looks promising. But key to this is shaping a future where accessible\, inclusive and compassionate practices are designed with student needs and experiences in mind. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn the seven principles of good assessment and feedback. Based on a sound body of evidence of good pedagogic practice from across the UK and internationally\, these principles can be applied to all aspects of learning design and teaching in all sectors of education. They offer an actionable way to improve learning\, teaching and assessment\, underpinned by the effective application of technology. \n  \nKey Takeaways \n  \nYou’ll come away from this engaging and interactive webinar with an understanding of how to: \n\nHelp learners understand what they are aiming for by engaging them with the requirements and performance criteria for each task\nSupport learners’ personalized needs by being accessible\, inclusive and compassionate\nFoster active learning by recognizing that engagement with learning resources\, tutors and peers offer opportunities for formative development\nDevelop autonomous learners by encouraging self-generated feedback\, self-regulation\, reflection\, dialogue and peer review\nManage workloads effectively by having the right assessment\, at the right time\, supported by efficient business processes\nFoster a motivated learning community by involving students in decision making and supporting staff in developing their own practices\nPromote learner employability by assessing authentic tasks and encouraging ethical conduct\n\n  URL:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/event/webinar-how-to-improve-assessment-and-feedback-practice/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Assessment,Faculty Support,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/NorthNord2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220419T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220419T130000 DTSTAMP:20261031T190300 CREATED:20220325T165436Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220325T165436Z UID:26726-1650369600-1650373200@devcetl.westernu.edu SUMMARY:Back to Basics: Learning Objectives vs. Learning Outcomes – what’s the big deal?

In a Healthline article on toxic positivity it was defined by clinical psychologist Jamie Zuckerman as\, “The assumption\, either by one’s self or others\, that despite a person’s emotional pain or difficult situation\, they should only have a positive mindset or ‘positive vibes’.”   \nThis type of response to other people’s pain has been shown to do more harm than good. In this CETL session\, participants will look at other methods for supporting and responding to peers and students when difficult topics arise.  \n  \n  \nSession Objectives:  \n\nDefine toxic positivity and explain the negative aspects of it. \nProvide tips for supporting peers and students when difficult subjects arise.  URL:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/event/ditch-toxic-positivity-heres-what-to-do-instead/ CATEGORIES:Assessment,Communication,Motivation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/photo-dissatisfied-woman-keeps-hands-temple-suffers-from-unbearable-headache-clenches-teeth-with-pain-being-exhausted-after-work-wears-burgundy-turtleneck-isolated-purple-wall2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211007T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211007T110000 DTSTAMP:20261031T190300 CREATED:20210928T173846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210928T173846Z UID:26050-1633600800-1633604400@devcetl.westernu.edu SUMMARY:Webinar - How to Effectively Use Assessment in Online And Blended Learning to Help Your Students Succeed DESCRIPTION:There are new opportunities to rethink and reimagine how assessment for learning and assessments of learning takes place in an online and blended learning environment. Assessment is the key to retention and completion\, and effective feedback critical to student success. \nDuring this interactive webinar\, five principles for assessment are explored: \n\nAuthentic Assessment – enabling the student to capture and share what they learned\, including project-based work\, video\, audio\, presentation\, and group work.\nAccessible Assessment – free of gender and cultural bias\, inclusive and available to all student no matter what kind of technology they have access to.\nAutomated Assessment – leveraging technology to give high quality feedback quickly and effectively.\nContinuous Assessment – learning is a continuous process and assessment should “walk alongside” while the students learn.\nSecure Assessment – ensuring academic integrity is present in all forms of assessment.\n\nKey Takeaways \n\nUnderstanding what authentic and accessible assessment looks like and how it can be done.\nHow to leverage technology to automate some of the burden of continuous assessment.\nHow to create continuous assessment and feedback in an online and blended course.\nHow to ensure integrity of assessment.\nHow to manage student expectations.\n\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Stephen Murgatroyd\nChief Innovation Officer\, Contact North | Contact Nord URL:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/event/webinar-how-to-effectively-use-assessment-in-online-and-blended-learning-to-help-your-students-succeed/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Assessment,Faculty Support ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/NorthNord2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210311T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210311T130000 DTSTAMP:20261031T190300 CREATED:20210225T233256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210225T233256Z UID:25371-1615464000-1615467600@devcetl.westernu.edu SUMMARY:CATS – Classroom Assessment Techniques DESCRIPTION:How do you really feel about end of the semester student evaluations?
