We need to have a discussion about “assessment load” in education. People are assigning too much work for learners and it is too much marking for instructors. We need to address how to be smart when designing assessments to restore balance, well-being, & space for relationality.

@nbaker @UWaterloo @yorkuniversity @uOttawa Student surveys on delivery preference, challenges, plusses, questions on current and alumni surveys for program reviews, focus groups with students about what worked for them and what didn't. Consultations with students' union. Input from faculty. Still we could do better.

[Liesel Knaack @LieselKnaack]

Biggest book takeaways: 1. we need to do more metacognitive teaching with students, more learning about learning 2. ungrading is not easy, may take many tries, may result in more work 3. there is not one single way to do it 4. Students need to be part of the change. #ungrading

[Liesel Knaack @LieselKnaack]

Highly recommend book, 'UNgrading' from @SusanDebraBlum & educators as impactful + honest look at foundations, practices + reflections (K12 + higher ed) of rethinking pedagogies + assessmt practices that don't encourage meaningful learning #ungrading #assessment #learning

[Liesel Knaack @LieselKnaack]

Ungrading, separating grades from feedback, reducing emphasis on grades etc - as T+L developer been encouraging faculty for yrs - report increased enjoyment of teaching, +'ve buy-in from students. Have my own 'fan' page of collected stories https://t.co/lMsxdaAHoF

I spent some time this summer researching #microcredentials. If I have any recommendation for #highered it would be to design with equity in mind, monitor evidence, and include students in the process https://t.co/rv4huBkzmW

Handwriting online frequently comes up as a challenge for teaching + learning in #STEM.

This hack may finally be the thing that convinces me to buy a make-up mirror, just to test out the idea:
