We have workshops that can assist you with writing criteria and standards, writing assessment tasks in alignment with learning outcomes and marking criteria!
19 November 2019, Ensuring good learning outcomes and assessment align. 1pm, Everyone welcome.
What is a good learning outcome? Why would we rewrite the ones we have already? Writing assessment tasks to align with learning outcomes can identify that the learning outcomes need to be rewritten. Maybe they are not at an adequate level to meet AQF standards. Maybe they are not measurable. Maybe they don’t align with the learning activities. This session looks at a new tool to ensure that course learning outcomes, subject learning outcomes, assessment and criteria all align while looking at the quality of the learning outcomes. Explore the answers to these questions, or bring your own.
