Wednesday, October 27, 2021 12:30 – 13:30 pm
(Please ask for Zoom Meeting info: btlsc@bilkent.edu.tr)
This seminar will address the issue of sustainable assessment in higher education. After defining sustainable assessment, we will address how we can design our assessment tasks to help students develop skills that are useful not only for immediate learning, but also for the longer term. The primary focus will be on ways to involve students in assessment to develop their assessment literacy while working on any course topic. Based on an example of a continuous assessment design, participants will reflect on how they could implement some principles of sustainable assessment in their own courses.
