Activity

Useful information: use of rubrics to evaluate rubrics (meta rubrics)—great for calibration sessions with instructors. 

Examples on internet, LMS, AI, along with sites. How to design good and fair rubrics.

Moving away from using numbers in rubric. Including self assessments for the student. Designing clear criteria. The value of rubrics and common mistakes when designing rubrics. All of these areas I found useful.

Advantages and disadvantages of rubric use. Different types of rubrics and their uses. Always making rubrics accessible to the student prior to starting the project.

Using various ways to measure the learning has occurred. I disagree about use of multiple choice testing. Application or higher level of questions can assess the learning at a higher level and are still very important in evaluating learning. However, learning about other ways to assess was informative.

Ideas around project based learning. Increased use of work relevant discussions. Holistic evaluations rather than traditional. Interesting ideas.

Different types of learners from what is generally used—great to learn about them briefly. Importance of meeting student needs based on their learning styles. “Everyone can learn; you just have to find the way to teach them.”

The challenge of engaging all learners online. Like the idea of chat discussions and final paper rather than typical exam. Liked prodigy website and UDL article.

My AI literacy has greatly improved. This module was very useful and appropriate for the current world of education.. Great tips to pass on to other educators. Best module yet!

using AI not just as a basic helper but seeing it as a creative partner in building both technical and communication skills. Collaboration with AI. Effective prompting gets the results you want. The CRAFT method.
