CiC Workshop – Course Assessment Reimagined

Abstract
In this workshop, we offer a thorough analysis of how to modify traditional assessments into vibrant, engaging, and visually appealing experiences for students. Attendees will be introduced to communication-intensive assessments and will participate in practical training to design their own. Additionally, the workshop will equip participants with the necessary skills to adequately prepare students for these innovative assessments. Detailed instruction on the construction of effective assessment rubrics will also be provided. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be armed with a diverse set of tools and strategies, ready to refine their approach to evaluations and cultivate a more engaging learning environment.
