PRESENTED BY DEBBIE GARRITY & DAN SLOAN, DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

JENNIFER TODD, TILT INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER
WITH THE CLOSING IF THE UNIVERSITY TESTING CENTER AND ONSET OF GRADESCOPE THIS SUMMER, WE HAVE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON HOW WE ADMINISTER FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS IN OUR COURSES. DUE TO THE LOGISTICS OF LARGE CLASSES, MANY OF US HAVE TRADITIONALLY USED SCANTRON-TYPE EXAMS AND LIMITED OUR ASSESSMENTS TO A FEW TIMES PER SEMESTER. HOWEVER, COVID GAVE US PRACTICE AT TRYING NEW THINGS. THIS WORKSHOP WILL HIGHLIGHT EXAMPLES FROM BIOLOGY/LIFE INSTRUCTORS WHO ELECTED TO DELIVER EXAMS ENTIRELY ONLINE THROUGH CANVAS. IMPORTANTLY, THEY COMBINED THIS OPTION WITH COURSE DESIGN CHANGES THAT BUILT IN MULTIPLE, SHORTER EXAMS WITH HIGHER-LEVEL SYNTHESIS OR EVALUATION QUESTIONS THAT COULD STILL BE GRADED EFFICIENTLY. CAN WE DO ALL THIS AND PREVENT CHEATING? WE’LL SHARE IDEAS. THE WORKSHOP WILL START WITH TWO SHORT PRESENTATIONS BY DEBBIE AND DAN, FOLLOWED BY PANEL DISCUSSION WITH AN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER AND FACULTY WHO HAVE USED THIS APPROACH. BRING YOUR QUESTIONS AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES!
