Applied and authentic assessments add meaning, purpose, and direction to the assessments and work in your course. They enhance motivation. They provide resume and portfolio building opportunities for all students. These assessments make your course stand out as one that prepares students for real work in their field and one that purposely integrates AI use and literacy. We’ll explore the benefits of employing applied and authentic assessments and methods of incorporating them into your course before turning our attention to crafting your own authentic assessment. During this session, we’ll workshop your assessment idea(s) allowing you to walk away with your initial plan and objectives, and walk through actionable next steps to bring the assessment to life.
