Distance Learning Assessment Strategies
Wednesday, September 23, 10:00 - 11:00 am
Online: WebEx link will be coming soon
Presenter: Dave Giblin
Dave Giblin is an APIR in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Avery Point, where he has connected engineering students across regional campuses with his distance-learning courses. Dr. Giblin joined UConn in 2013, and has taught 14 distance-learning courses over the past 5 years (including two this semester). He is a firm believer in problem-based learning for long-term retention in STEM education, and incorporates teamwork and active learning in his synchronous distance-learning classes.
In this one-hour interactive session, we will identify and evaluate assessment types commonly used in HuskyCT. Dave will share detailed examples of two forms of assessment he has used in the past: 1) Short asynchronous calculated-numeric quizzes, and 2) Synchronous open-book exams. We will discuss tips and tricks in DL assessment strategies with a strong focus on assessments for STEM courses. Join us whether you are just learning or have numerous experiences to share regarding assessment in HuskyCT. There will be time for break-out group discussion.
