The Power of Transparent Assignment Design
May 7 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
In this workshop, you’ll learn about an evidence-based, simple framework for transparent assignment design—Purpose, Task, Criteria, which can be implemented in any course and any modality.
Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (TILT) is an award-winning, scholarly project focused on improving students’ learning experiences. Evidence from a national study shows that when faculty implement small changes to enhance transparency to the design of even just two assignments, there are statistically significant benefits for all students and even larger gains for first-generation students, low-income students, and students of color (Winkelmes et al., 2016).
Participants will leave this session able to:
- *Explain how transparently designed assignments can offer equitable opportunities for college students to succeed
- *Implement the TILT framework effectively for assignments they teach
