2:00 PM – 2:45 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: L504/505
Session Type: Explore and Engage
Discussion-Based Assessment (DBA) offers a dynamic approach to evaluating student understanding in online learning environments. Rather than relying solely on traditional assessments, DBAs foster deeper dialogue between students and educators, promoting academic integrity, critical thinking, personalized feedback, and active engagement. This method allows instructors to gauge not only content mastery but also student reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills. In this session, we will explore how DBAs can be effectively integrated into online courses. Participants will gain insights into leveraging DBAs to create engaging, personalized learning experiences that support academic achievement and skill development.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn how to integrate Discussion-Based Assessments into online courses to enhance student engagement, critical thinking, personalized feedback, and uphold academic integrity.
  • Participants will understand how to use DBAs to assess not only content mastery but also student reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills, and ensure the integrity of the assessment process, thereby supporting academic achievement and skill development
