Course details

NOTE: All registrants must first contact develop@bcit.ca​ In this course, learners will examine the who, what, why, when, and how of learning assessment. The course starts with separating the ideas of evaluation and assessment. Learners then revisit and expand on concepts introduced in the ISW: writing learning outcomes, alignment in course design, backwards design, and course goals. Formative assessment is discussed including effective feedback and classroom assessment techniques that can result in motivation and metacognition. Students will then explore assessment design including different types of assessment and their alignment within the course. Design of grading tools will also be explored including rubrics and checklists. Other concepts foundational to good assessment design - validity, reliability, ethics and privacy, and authenticity are woven throughout the course.
