Info

In their Learning Roadmap for New Online Instructors by the College of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, they point out that online learning allows for more personalized and authentic assessments due to its collaborative nature. In the online environment, the limits of a physical classroom and schedule time limits are removed, providing for more opportunities to demonstrate achievement of course learning objectives. The information here was originally inspired by information shared in COVID-19 faculty support sessions by Boise State’s Center for Teaching and Learning.
