Assessments to Match our Pedagogy: A Discussion of Innovative Assessment Practices to Support Open-ended Learning

• In Event: D&D- Innovative Assessment Practices to Support Open-ended Learning

Short Description

As students engage in ill-structured problem solving, they are prone to make mistakes and require regular and consistent feedback. Because ill-structured problems found allow for multiple solutions and inquiry paths, the need for regular and targeted formative feedback is essential. However, many students are still assessed using traditional forms (e.g - multiple choice). This panel discusses micro, meso, and macro forms of alternative assessment. Strategies such as badging and varying learning analytics are discussed.
