Transparent Assignment Design + Rubric
Tuesday, August 4th - 11-12p
Transparency in assignment design is fundamentally about managing expectations. Transparent assignments lay out the skills we want students to practice, the insights we want them to come to, and the criteria for doing successful work. When students know what is expected of them, they tend to report higher levels of confidence in doing academic work, a greater sense of belonging, and are able to better articulate the skills they are building as they progress through the course. Tthis live session will explore simple transparent design strategies that can be easily incorporated into the digital teaching environment.
