Description
This program will cover formative assessment techniques to incorporate into the classroom to save the instructor time, but still allow students to receive timely, meaningful feedback. The assessment methods we will present are: Self-reflection, Games (Apples to Apples, Pub Style Trivia, etc.), Using groups, Using videos and sample answers, Building feedback into the LMS for questions with one answer and those that are open ended, Peer feedback, and Teaching Assistants.
The program will provide examples of how we have successfully implemented these time-saving strategies in our classrooms. This includes tips about what to avoid when adding these methods into your own classroom. We will use several of these assessments in the workshop. We will also ask participants to share methods they use that were not covered in the workshop.
