Anything to ask, do not hesitate to contact me by email viivi.virtanen@aalto.fi phone +358 50 505 9565. THE THEMES AND THE CONTACT SESSIONS 2019 SPRING
Developing assessment practices at own major, programme, etc. (54 hrs= 2 credits).This is based on the plan you did during the autumn part of the course ( 3 credits). This part includes three steps:
1) Option A) Implementation (your own plan or part of it in practice), or Option B) Make a new programme-level plan for developing Assessment in the Programme.
2) Then, reflection with peer group and teachers/Viivi. During March-April, a face-to-face session of 2-3 hours.
3) Finally, sharing with academic community. (E.g. by participating in 23.5.2019 Learning@Aalto)
Read first the course description HERE.
Then start the course by writing a plan, in which you tell 1) when you will implement and what, 2) when you would like to have the face-to-face session; and 3) a suggestion about how you would like to share the experiences of peer/self/other assessment. Submit the short plan into MyCourses, dead line 31.1. 2019.

During the contact sessions, we will learn and discuss about the topics of assessment, especially self-assessment and peer assessment to reach a shared understanding of the topics and to achieve a deeper scholarship in designing assessment for and of learning (to get more information see Contact Sessions).
Individually, everyone will read some papers concerning the topic before each contact session (see Materials).
There is one main assignment to be done during the course: Assessment rubrics for (own) course. That cen be done In pairs, in teams, or individually, If that is not a meaningful task, please, feel free to do something else. It must be aligned with the intended learning outcomes, and time, but there are no other restrictions... I suggest to focus on: How to implement self-assessment, or peer-assessment into learning activities? Show your input by compiling, e.g., Blogs, Rubrics, Video, Performance in Learning Challenge etc. (see Tasks to do in this course).
The estimated workload for each of the above mentioned aspect is 1 credit, 27 h.
