Developing rubrics
Developing rubrics
Creating and evaluating marking criteria.
Rubrics allow for consistency and transparency in marking, can guide feedback and give students clearly articulated expectations. Rubrics are complex and can be time-consuming to produce, but once designed, evaluated and refined appropriately, they can significantly decrease overall marking time, and in particular, reduce subjectivity between markers. This workshop is designed as an introduction to rubrics and you will gain experience in evaluating rubrics, refining existing rubrics and creating effective rubrics from scratch.
Giving effective feedback
Giving effective feedback
Improving feedback practices for summative assessment tasks.
Feedback plays a critical role in student development and the achievement of learning outcomes. In particular, students tend to immerse themselves primarily in feedback received through summative assessments. Giving assessment feedback provides an opportunity for educators to engage in meaningful dialogue with students, provide an assessment of student performance and offer guidance for future learning. This workshop will focus of the practice of giving valuable, efficient and effective feedback on summative assessments and integrating a purposeful feedback cycle into your assessment regime.
Writing learning outcomes
Writing learning outcomes
Writing and evaluating constructively aligned course, unit and topic learning outcomes.
Learning outcome statements are valuable to students, teachers and administrators and support better curriculum design and alignment through explicit connection to learning and teaching activities and assessment tasks. This workshop will help you understand what learning outcomes are, why they are important and how to evaluate your own learning outcomes. You will also develop weekly/topic learning outcomes that are aligned to unit learning outcomes.
Revising assessment tasks
Revising assessment tasks
Creating clear and constructively aligned assessment tasks.
Designing fair, reliable and valid assessment tasks begins with ensuring alignment between the unit learning outcomes and the assessment task. This workshop is less about creating assessment tasks from scratch, and more about evaluating assessment tasks that are already in place, ensuring alignment with the learning outcomes and making improvements to the clarity of the assessment task description to ensure both students and teaching staff understand the expectations of the task.
Designing learning activities
Designing learning activities
Creating engaging learning activities and adapting them to different modes of teaching.
With a lens of continual quality improvement, it’s important for all educators to regularly evaluate and revise their learning activities, particularly when there is a change in delivery format. Fundamentally, creating student-centred learning activities that are constructively aligned to learning outcomes allows students to engage in the unit content by discussing, reflecting, problem-solving, brainstorming, role-playing, debating, and critiquing. In this workshop you will adapt and redevelop constructively aligned learning activities for a variety of learning modes: on campus, synchronously via Zoom and asynchronously through Moodle, as well as hybrid delivery.
