Creating and Evaluating Assignments, Rubrics, and Self Assessments

May 13, 2024 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Registration Deadline: May 13, 2024 08:30 AM

In this workshop, we'll address different ways to assess student performance and provide feedback. 

Note: If you are also or only interested in the Quiz tool, we suggest signing up for the Exploring Brightspace's Quizzes and Question Pool Features workshop as the Quiz tool is not covered in this workshop.

In this workshop you will:  

  • Learn to create both graded and ungraded assessments using different Brightspace tools 
  • Provide feedback to students in different modalities (e.g., text, audio) and with different tools  
  • Learn to create and link rubrics to your assignments and to other evaluated activities  
This is a "hands-on" workshop. To prepare for the workshop, we recommend that you: 
1. Request your OWL Brightspace personal sandbox if you haven't already.
