A Pragmatic Approach to Designing and Delivering Authentic Assessment Tasks
By Professor Kay Sambell and Professor Sally Brown, 12:45-13:45
In this workshop, building on the extensive resources Kay and Sally have created to support staff during pandemic times, (see https://sally-brown.net/kay-sambell-and-sally-brown-covid-19-assessment-collection/ ), we reviewed how effective and authentic assessment can be undertaken across the disciplines, with plenty of practical examples showing how participants at the workshop can readily and creatively implement these approaches at Aberdeen. Participants had opportunities to:
- Consider a practical six-stage approach to designing authentic and constructively-aligned assessment activities;
- Review examples of authentic assessment tasks from across various disciplines;
- Discuss how these kinds of approaches can be implemented at University of Aberdeen
This workshop was only available face-to-face and there was a limited amount of spaces available, which were offered on a first come first serve basis. Those who booked a place at the Symposium were given the opportunity to register their interest when the formal registration form was distributed.
