Overview
In this module, participants will be given opportunities to explore creative and useful assessments to use for individuals or for a group of adult students with low-tech skills or to adult students with no access to technology in a classroom environment. Participants will also be encouraged to actively seek other creative assessments and evaluations that will serve, motivate and strengthen their learning as well as their teaching practice. Acquiring new knowledge and a different perspective when it comes to evaluating and assessing adult students with previous experience will enlighten learning and teaching practices in a limited technology access classroom.
Connecting with the previous module, Module 2: Teaching Strategies for Limited Technology Environments, this module will add to the participants’ existing learning and will include important definitions of assessments, evaluations and examine a variety of ways to assess and evaluate.
Note: Use this sheet to consign important and pertinent information discussed as you go through the modules, should you wish to do so. The RIDAR model (Review, Identify, Develop, Apply, Reflect) will be used throughout every week to help you keep track and categorize information you deemed important. RIDAR Notes Sheet (PDF)
