Transforming Assessment

Why should I take this course?

Assessment is the cornerstone of teaching and learning and the foundation for meaningful educational change. Evidence from research and practice shows that assessment is a significant influence on students’ learning, wellbeing, and future opportunities.

With recent shifts toward feedback-driven, student-centred, authentic approaches to assessment and the proliferation of technology in teaching and learning, it is essential that higher education instructors are equipped with contemporary assessment strategies to accurately and fairly assess students’ learning.

This self-paced professional learning course provides higher education instructors with the opportunity to transform their approach to assessment—building on existing assessment knowledge and skills, reflecting on foundational assessment principles, exploring contemporary assessment strategies, and creating new assessments to support students’ learning and achievement across a variety of teaching contexts.
