Description:
Effective assessment can feel like a daunting process, especially when juggling multiple assignments and ensuring students understand their expectations. This session focuses on using rubrics within Canvas to not only make assessment more transparent for students but also to save time for faculty in the long run. By aligning goals, objectives, assessments, and learning tasks through well-crafted rubrics, we can create a cohesive learning experience that benefits everyone involved. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore how to design rubrics that serve as powerful tools for both teaching and learning.
Learning Outcomes:
- Faculty will design a rubric for one of their assignments, with guidance on ensuring alignment with course objectives and goals.
- Faculty will explore strategies for using rubrics to provide meaningful feedback that supports student learning and engagement.
What to Bring:
Attendees can bring a learning module with an assignment to practice on or use samples provided by the presenter.
