Alternative Grading

A flipped classroom requires that students complete independent work before class, leaving class time for hands-on application. This session explored the theory behind the flipped classroom model and strategies for course application.

In this session participants were encouraged to critically evaluate their grading systems, further develop pedagogically collaborative relationships and a specific alternative grading application for their teaching.

In this workshop, we challenge conventional assessment norms and empower you to create assessment practices that prioritize student growth, engagement, and reflection over traditional grades.

This interactive professional development workshop will explore best practices for providing constructive feedback on student writing.

Specification grading integrates several assessment and feedback methods to ensure that students demonstrate what they have learned in a course. Join Julie Dillon for a conversation about what specification grading is, what the benefits and challenges are, and how you can implement it in your course.

This workshop will focus on aligning assignments with your course and module outcomes, ensuring that you create as few assignments as are necessary to assess what you need to assess while not burdening students with what they see as 'busy work.' We’ll explore practical strategies for designing meaningful assessments.
