Connecting learning objectives to assessments in your online courses

*Light lunch will be served

Online courses pose a challenge to students because they do not benefit from the cues and immediate feedback that take place in face-to-face settings. For that reason, online students need clear pathways through the course that explain the connection between learning objectives and various assignments, pathways that have to be decided on at the planning stage of an online course. Good practices of online course design emphasize alignment between course-level learning objectives, module-level objectives, learning activities, and assessment. In this workshop led by the ATI team, we will discuss how to plan an online course module, craft measurable module-level learning objectives using the Bloom taxonomy, and choose an appropriate assessment plan.
