Abstract Description : 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.
