Assessing Online Learning

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.

Video is a powerful way to humanize your online course and create a more equitable experience for students by providing content in multiple formats. Screencast-o-matic is a simple-to-use video recording/editing tool. Studio is a Canvas integration that turns passive viewing into active engagement. Pair the two together and you’ve got the power to create dynamic learning experiences that capture—and hold—your students’ attention (with assessment built right in!). In this webinar, you’ll get a taste of what these two tools can offer and how to get started using this match made in heaven to power-up your course content.

Video can be a powerful medium for creating engagement and connection with your students. It can also backfire with the opposite effect when done poorly. (Hint: Just presenting content won’t do the trick.) Come learn 5 dynamic—and actually quite simple—tips for creating effective educational videos.

People—and this includes students 😉 —don’t pay attention to boring things. Plus, a well laid out page is easier to make sense of. In this webinar you’ll learn how to add visual elements like borders, horizontal lines, callout boxes, and responsive banners, even how to make text wrap around an image to your Canvas course. With just a little HTML know-how, it’s easier than you think!

Most faculty are aware there’s a direct link between the design of your course and your students’ success. But have you ever thought about how your design methods can impact your success with the course as well? Using Canvas as our backdrop, this webinar will introduce five often-overlooked strategies for making your course design faster, easier and more effective. You’ll leave with plenty of ideas and resources for your “instructional design toolbox.”

Making your course content and documents accessible isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law. Section 508 is a federal law that requires agencies (which includes schools) receiving federal funds to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities (unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency).

The good news is that, despite what you may have heard, it’s not that hard to make your content accessible in Canvas. Come learn how!
