Alternative Assessments for Students
Alternative Assessments at the UWI
The BUS and BGSR have recommended that no time-based, synchronous assessments are to be conducted. This includes the use of the quiz function for multiple choice and short answers. Assessments are to be constructed using an authentic/alternative assessment method and must cover a 2 to 7 day time span.
Alternative Assessments are a form of performance assessment which requires students to demonstrate their skills. Performance assessments that require students to do real-life tasks are called Authentic Assessments. (Suskie, L. 2009, p.25)
