How do you design authentic assessments for online learning?

Powered by AI and the LinkedIn community

Online learning poses many challenges for teachers and students, especially when it comes to assessment. How can you measure students' learning outcomes, skills, and understanding in a meaningful and engaging way? How can you avoid relying on traditional tests and quizzes that may not reflect the depth and complexity of your content and objectives? How can you create authentic assessments that align with your online learning environment and teaching methods?

One possible answer is to design authentic assessments that involve performance tasks. Performance tasks are activities that require students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems or scenarios. They can be individual or collaborative, short-term or long-term, and involve multiple steps or products. Performance tasks can also incorporate digital tools and resources that enhance students' creativity, communication, and critical thinking.
