Description
Assessment is not just for testing anymore! This course explores the concept of assessment as a design tool that allows you to build a course centered around student learning. In this course, we’ll explore a design process called the assessment loop, looking at the ways clear learning outcomes, thoughtfully designed assessment, and analysis of assessment results can help you engage your students and build a better course. The course covers writing clear unit-level learning goals, aligning assessments to learning goals, developing authentic summative assessments and developing formative assessments that provide rich and meaningful feedback for students. In addition, we’ll explore various assignment options in Canvas, and develop an overarching plan for using assessments in digital learning environments.
Outcomes
To successfully complete this course, participants will:
- Create assessments aligned to the OEI Course Design Rubric
- Develop unit-level learning objectives in student-centered language with demonstrable learning outcomes;
- Design a variety of valid and authentic formative and summative assessments aligned to the course objectives;
- Design student self-assessments;
- Write clear and detailed assessment instructions;
- Create clear descriptive rubrics that support desired outcomes;
- Develop an assessment plan for one unit of your course that supports regular assessment with timely, meaningful feedback.
Fulfills
This course is part of the Online Teaching & Design Certificate, and fulfills Section C: Assessment.
Duration: 4 Weeks, facilitated asynchronous
Time Commitment: approximately 10 hours per week, for a total of 40 hours
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. To get the most from this course, you should have some familiarity with online teaching and with Canvas.

Description
Whether you're building your first online course or revising an existing one, this 12-week facilitated asynchronous series will show you how to create the course you've always dreamed of teaching. You'll explore online learning theory, approaches to online course design, and strategies for supporting student success from within the structure of the four sections of the Online Education Initiative's Course Design Rubric:
- Course Design
- Interaction
- Assessment
- Accessibility
The learn-by-doing focus will have you building a powerful sample course in Canvas Sandbox, which you can then use as your own personal course creation blueprint. Fast-paced and innovative, this course is perfect for instructors new to Canvas and/or new to online teaching, while also providing innovative ideas for enhancing existing courses.
Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- develop a comprehensive course plan for a fully online or hybrid course
- use the core features of the Canvas course managements system to design an online or hybrid course
- develop an introductory orientation module
- develop a learning unit with clear objectives aligned to the course outcomes
- design accessible course content
- integrate Open Educational Resources and other material curated from the internet to support student learning
- design formative and summative assessments to support and measure student learning
- use a variety of communication tools, both within and external to Canvas, to support student success
Fulfills
Successful completion of this course leads to an Online Teaching & Design Certificate. Completion of this course is equivalent to completing Introduction to Course Design, 10-10-10: Communication that Matters, Assessment in Digital Learning, Creating Accessible Course Content, and the Course Design Capstone.
Duration: 12 weeks
Time Commitment: approximately 10 hours per week, for a total of 120 hours
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. If this is your first time designing an online course, or your first time using Canvas, we strongly suggest you begin with Introduction to Teaching with Canvas.

How do you know if your online students are learning when you can’t see them? The short answer is: meaningful assessment.
While many people link assessments to grades, the real power of assessing our students is the insight we can get from the results. When we examine our students’ performance, we can identify what they’ve mastered and where they may still need help. Section C of the OEI Course Design Rubric provides a framework to help you design an assessment process that supports teaching and learning through thoughtful formative and summative assessments and rich feedback.
After registration, you will receive a Zoom link via email.
