Workshop for Creative Techniques to Assess Student Learning
During my internship with the Instructional Design team at NYU Tandon, I was tasked with creating a workshop for the faculty to utilize next semester. My supervisor noticed that professors were not utilizing the technology around them to provide creative learning assessments for their students. My responsibility was to discover these creative techniques and share them in the form of a virtual workshop to be led by my supervisor.
Research
I started with a refresher on the different types of assessments and how to ensure they successfully evaluate the understanding of content. Then, I spoke with different faculty members about their favorite existing tools for assessment and any unique evaluations they might want to create but do not know how. Finally, I examined information on the characteristics and benefits of creative assessments as well as new E-learning tools that could be used to make them.
Workshop Outline
All of the information I gathered was used to design the outline of the workshop including the objectives, agenda, activity, and some learning content.
