Feb 5 In Person Session Location: BH 444 | Michael Wiitala | Wondering how to work more collaboration into your courses? This workshop will focus on how to bring collaboration into quizzes, tests, or exams using immediate feedback assessment techniques. During this interactive workshop you'll learn how to implement immediate feedback assessment techniques into your courses. The workshop will begin with a short, five-question quiz on this article: You can either read or not read the article in advance. Our students often don’t do reading assignments, and experiencing how test taking feels for them can be instructive. After the quiz, which will include a collaborative element, we'll discuss the advantages and potential disadvantages to collaboration in quizzes, tests, and exams, and brainstorm easy ways you could implement immediate feedback assessment techniques in your courses. |
