Targeted Audience: All higher education faculty members
Overview: ‘How can I choose the suitable types of assessments for my students and my course? How can I achieve the intended learning outcomes (ILOs)? How can I decide on the level of the knowledge and questions that I am giving? Am I assessing my students based on what they should have learned in this specific course?’ Am I phrasing my questions appropriately?’ Answers to these questions and more can be found in this workshop.
The workshop highlights the importance of constructive alignment in education. It guides teachers to choose the appropriate types of assessments. It also details how to precisely structure the assessments. During the workshop, interactive activities will help participants to design their assessments following constructive alignment theory. Examples of assessment questions will be provided to reflect on their level and suitability. Another key component of the workshop is practicing how to choose the appropriate teaching and learning activities that help students perform better in their assessment tasks. Tips on how both learners and teachers can participate to achieve the intended learning outcomes will also be illustrated. The presenter will share her expertise and practice on this topic using several examples and hands-on online activities.
