Description

In the fifth course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we delve into assessment. Digital technologies can enhance existing assessment practices and facilitate new and innovative ones. Teachers can use digital technologies to collect data to better support and assess learners, while enabling them to reflect and adapt their teaching practice.

Learning objectives

As a participant, you will:

Select digital technologies to support specific aspects in assessment “of”, “for” and “as” learning and capture best the nature of the learning outcome to be assessed,
Select digital technologies that facilitate presentation and analysis of learning data to support your reflections on your teaching practice and on your students' learning,
Select digital technologies that can help in providing, receiving and analysing feedback in order to inform teaching and enhance the design of learning on a continuous basis.

Methodology & assessment

The course is offered as an asynchronous course with flexibility in regard to when and where participants follow the course content and join the course activities. Modules open each week and remain open for the duration of the course, with a final deadline in place for the submission of a course product. Participants are required to actively contribute to the course activities by sharing their work and submitting a course product. This product is submitted, and peer assessed by three peers in the final module of the course.

Certification details

Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
