Online learning has been thrust upon us in an unprecedented way and on a global scale. This new paradigm has made us ask many new questions: which platform should I use, how will I engage my students, why won’t they turn on their mics or video? Yet, perhaps the most important question has not risen above the noise: how do we know that they have learned something. This short workshop will attempt to provide some suggestions in answer to this important question where learning has taken on a new look and some of our previous assessment methods no longer fit.
