Week 6 Updates (Feb 9)

This week, and over the Reading week (although I hope you are able to take a break!), we are looking at assessment in learning design. Your activities are:

• Keep up with any announcements on Mattermost.
• Read the “Alignment and the Assessment Triangle”
• Read the post “Assessing Learning,” including Chapters 1 and 4 of Assessment Strategies for Online Learning,
• Read the post “Feedback” and the “Levels of Feedback” selection from Hattie’s work
• Read the post “Reliability and Validity”
• Read the post “Measuring Learning“
• Optional – Read the chapter “Assessment in a Post-AI Era”
• Over the next two weeks, meet with your Learning Pod to begin drafting your Interactive Learning Resource, focusing on Assessments.  Begin with the end in mind to revise your assessments in your Blueprint and align them even better with identified outcomes. What assessment pieces will you include in your Interactive Learning Resource? Begin by isolating the verbs in your outcome statements and planning related verbs in your assessment piece(s). Consider how you may conduct formative assessment throughout and if you plan to include any learner self-assessment.
