Assessments (exams) are one of the most important incentives for student motivation and student learning. Are you assessing all you want/need to assess and are you assessing at the right time?

Assessments have multiple functions such as judgement of student achievement, certification, and support for student learning. It is difficult to balance these functions and each course module has different challenges.

The workshop will be a mixture of inspiration to new assessment methods, general and specific considerations at ST, and a redesign of assessment methods in your own teaching. A special focus will be assessment and feedback during the course module (continuous assessment).

Learning outcomes

• Argue for your choice of assessment method in your own teaching.
• Redesign your final and continuous assessment method.
• Reflect upon how assessment can be improved in your course module.

Info

• Duration: 2 hours.
• Held by Annika B. Lindberg and Ole E. Bjælde, ST Learning Lab.

You will be introduced to various techniques, which can be used to create student activity and  interaction in your lecture. You will learn digital techniques, like for example AU VOTE. You will also learn 'analog' techniques to activate the students (e.g. Memory Matrix where students place concepts in a matrix) or one-minute papers (the last two minutes of the lecture is spent on student answers the question: "What was the most important thing you learned today?"and discuss it with the person next to him/her).

You will get hands-on experience with the tools and you will work with the tools in relation to your own teaching.  

Learning outcomes

After the workshop you will be able to

• activate the students using digital tools in your lecture
• make the students reflect on their learning

During the workshop you will rethink/update the learning outcomes and competences for your own course module according to constructive alignment. You will discuss how you can use the SOLO taxonomy to make your leaning goals more precise. How is progression considered within your course module and in relation to previous and later courses? If your course module train and assess important academic competencies, how can these be included in the learning outcomes?

Learning outcome

After the workshop you should be able to

• Redesign the learning outcomes and competences in your own course
• Justify the verbs describing the learning outcomes using the SOLO taxonomy
• Reflect upon progressions and general academic competencies within your course
