What does assessment look like in a Digital Age classroom of Web 2.0 integration and multimodal projects? How do we distinguish between higher-order thinking and "bells-and-whistles?" In this session we explore the role of backward-design principles in developing effective Assessment 2.0 strategies. We will look at storyboarding techniques and rubrics that help establish a clear relationship between project goals and skill benchmarks. A fundamental goal is to identify characteristics of effective assessments that link to and measure student mastery of worthwhile learning goals.
Attendees will learn how to:
• Build a logic model for backward-design assessment
• Develop skill benchmarks tied to learning objectives
• Construct a storyboarding process that improves formative and summative assessment
• Find and create rubrics that evaluate preparation, content, format, design, presentation, and interactivity
