5. Authentic Learning
• …require students to complete
complex real-world tasks over
a period of time in collaboration
with others as they would in a
real setting or workplace
(Herrington, 2006)

6. Authentic Assessment
• Empowering the learner by engaging
them in assessment tasks that simulate
or engage the learner in real-life
situations.
• “Engaging and worthy problems or
questions of importance, in which
students must use knowledge to fashion
performances effectively and
creatively” (Wiggins, 1993, p.229).
