This course examines principles and practices of educational assessment, including in the context of digital technologies. Students will critique inequitable assessment practices and identify inclusive assessment practices that support life-long learning. Students will plan, create and analyze assessment tools appropriate for inclusion, specific learning goals and teaching strategies. Topics will include but are not limited to, traditional assessment concepts and procedures (reliability, validity, test design), and a range of contemporary practices (eg. observation, rubrics, non-disposable assessment, portfolio assessment, performance assessment, ungrading). Students will explore the affordances of self-assessment and digital technologies for assessment.
