Join us for our next Twitter chat scheduled for Tuesday, August 11th to explore the impacts of COVID-19 within higher education from Spring 2020 to the start of the Fall 2020 semester. This Twitter chat will be facilitated by Mindy James from California State University - Long Beach.
Questions that will be discussed during the August Twitter chat:
- How did instruction on your campus shift last semester? What is your institutions plan for Fall 2020?
- Where there any unexpected consequences of the abrupt shift in instruction in Fall 2020?
- How did assessment change during Covid-19 and how can you take what you learned in Spring 2020 and bring it into Fall 2020?
- What is a creative assessment process that you have done or seen (ie. Student-Created Exam, Video Assessment, etc.) and how did the process go?
- "When you validate someone’s learning, you validate them as a person," Has your campus started a conversation on equitable assessment? Did the conversation lead to any changes on your campus?
- How has Covid-19, or has Covid-19, highlighted inequity at your institution, or in learning assessment in general?
- "We end up focusing on the worst possible negative outcomes that the most malicious and malintended student would engage in, rather than starting with, 'What’s the best teaching and learning experience I can construct and deliver for the vast majority of students who are there to learn authentically and who want to succeed?'" Harrison said.
- With the shift to more online learning there has been a focus on stopping students from cheating. How can assessment professionals shift that focus to helping faculty build a better teaching and learning experience?
