Developing Authentic Virtual Assessments (Jolt2021-50)


Description
How will we know if our students have met the learning target for a lesson? In what real ways will students apply what they've learned? Learn why authentic forms of assessment are so important in virtual learning. Then discover how to design an assessment in which students create, produce or perform something to authentically show that they have acquired the desired skills/knowledge from your virtual lesson. Through the experience you design, learners will elaborate and deepen their understanding.
