Session 4 - Where do Learners and Content Meet?

Response to our three key questions from our session "Ticket Out"

Session 4 - February 3rd

What are you curious about?


  • How effective are non-graded assessment?
    • Depends: 1) How do you define effective? and 2) Do the students see value?
  • How to be effective in a team setting?
  • SoTL
    • Yay for Week 6 with Dr. Jackson
  • Zone of Proximal Development
  • How to use assessments in non-formal settings?
    • Just remember, assessing lends value to knowledge AND all learners like feeling success, so in exhibits or non-formal learning, providing an opportunity for someone to "test themselves" allows them to know if they got what they were "supposed" to get!

What did you learn?


  1. Three kinds of assessments (Diagnostic, Formative, Assumptive)
  2. The purpose of assessments
  3. The difference between assessment FOR learning and assessment OF learning
  4. How to structure a performance assessment (rubric)
  5. Types of Rubrics

What do you want to learn more about?
