Designing alternative assessments requires analyzing how technology tools can help or hinder learning goals, getting student feedback on new approaches, and adapting processes based on data. Assessment should be integrated into course and program design from the start and linked to learning outcomes, and attending workshops or speaking with a Digital Assessment Advisor can provide support on effective strategies.

1. Designing
alternative
assessments
Technology is a tool and
can help you with your
assessment aspirations.
All tools have
advantages and
disadvantages - take a
critical approach.
When trying something
new you need to analyse
the results. Use the data,
ask your students for
feedback and be willing to
adapt your processes.
Do share your alternative
assessment approach!
The Digital Assessment
Advisor (DAA) for your
faculty is there to listen
to your requirements
and support you.
Assessment should not be an
afterthought. Link them to
your Learning Outcomes.
Make it part of your module
and programme design
process. Why not attend an
ABC design workshop?
Use feedback
loops
