Description

Student assessment is much more than something to tack onto the end of a course to give students a grade.  It is an integral part of the learning process. But how might we creatively design assessment schemes to impact learning? How can we think of the broader curriculum and of course syllabi through the lens of assessment?   

In this course you will explore two models of curriculum design (Wiggins/McTighe and Vella) and experiment in designing effective assessment to offer your students an integrated learning experience. 

Course Outcomes

At the end of this course you will have developed an awareness of how assessment is important to teaching and learning, shown familiarity with the 2 models of curriculum design, designed a learning plan that incorporates the principles learned on curriculum model, created useful rubrics for evaluating student learning, demonstrated ability to be flexible with assessment schemes especially in big classrooms, in multi-cultural classrooms, and in cross-cultural contexts, developed the skill to evaluate their own syllabi and lesson plans to see if the desired outcomes are being targeted by assessment strategies and learned the art of doing debrief as a powerful formative assessment tool.
