Additional Detail
Class learning elements need to be tied to specific, measurable, achievable teaching outcomes. Starting with the outcomes first is key to designing effective assessments. These outcomes need to connect clearly to the actual learning activities and assessments of the class—both in students’ minds and teachers’ practice. Well-aligned classes support student learning and facilitate easier learning assessment.
While the need for this kind of alignment might be intuitively obvious, it is not always clear how to put it into practice while designing a class. This Magna Online Seminar helps you organize your workflow and equips you with tools to line up your class learning elements with your student learning outcomes.
