This course has been developed with Caleb Curfman, History Instructor at Northland Community and Technical College, USA. It includes short videos, discussion prompts, and suggested practical activities to try. We recommend working through the lessons in order. At the end of each lesson, you will find a “Mark Complete” button at the bottom of the page. Once you have worked through all the lessons and marked them as complete, you will receive a course completion badge.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Analyze how traditional assessment practices can create barriers to learning and apply research-based principles to design more equitable and meaningful evaluations.
- Implement authentic assessment strategies that promote student agency, choice, and engagement while maintaining academic rigor and integrity.
- Create assessment systems that provide stronger evidence of student learning through portfolios, community connections, and multimodal demonstration options.
