Join this 90-minute workshop, “Using Authentic Assessments to Encourage Academic Integrity,” where educators will learn to implement strategies that promote honesty and student engagement. With many educators at KPU already creating progressive assessments in their contexts, this workshop focuses on producing and sharing real-world, application-based assignments that foster broad engagement with the material and refining these successful strategies. Facilitators will cover theoretical and practical aspects of authentic assessment, helping participants understand and design assessments that reflect true student learning.
Educators will explore project-based and experiential learning and performance assessments tailored to their disciplines, effectively evaluating knowledge while minimizing plagiarism.
Interactive sessions will enable participants to design and refine their assessments with peer feedback. By the end, educators will have a toolkit of authentic assessment strategies, an understanding of academic integrity’s importance, and the confidence to foster a culture of honesty in their classrooms, leading to genuine, lasting learning outcomes for students.
