Whether you are teaching in an online, in-person, or hybrid learning environment, student learning outcomes inform decisions about which form(s) of assessment is best suited for your course. Alignment of outcomes and assessments requires purposeful attention each time you modify a course, the demands of rapidly shifting to an online learning format may not allow time to make substantial changes. This page contains suggestions and resources to modify your current forms of assessment, given our current teaching and learning circumstances, with an emphasis on exams, group papers/projects, and Canvas support.
Note: If you are seeking guidance on the creation of assessments for new or substantively revised courses, see the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning’s page on writing and assessing learning outcomes.
