Assessment Challenges by Jenny Yang

Expectation for learning outcome

Are we expecting students to achieve the same level of proficiency under AR/hybrid instruction as fully in-person instruction?

-If so, how do we achieve this?

-If not, realistically, what is our goal?

-And how do we bridge the gap for students going from one modality to another?

How do we assess students

Is the ratio of turn-in vs. graded assignments the same for AR/hybrid instruction compared to fully in-person instruction? Higher? Lower?

-How might this affect student learning outcome?

-For hybrid instruction, would you change graded assessments to in-person days only?

-For AR instruction, how would you effectively conduct graded assessments (e.g. quiz, unit test)?

Assessment benchmarks

-Would you need to change assessments that fulfill SAS Core learning goals under AR/hybrid instruction?

-How is student performance on the ACTFL assessment benchmarks under AR/hybrid instruction compared to fully in-person instruction? Are students doing better/worse in any learning modality (listening, speaking, reading, writing)?

Looking on the bright side

Are there any advantages to assessing students under AR/hybrid instruction? What new assessment format have you tried? How can we redesign our assessments to improve learning motivation, study habits, and ultimately, student success?
