ELW 102 Evaluation of Learning Workshop (ELW). The ELW examines the practices that support the assessment and evaluation strategies used in education and training. The workshop allows instructors to develop the skills to design and implement a comprehensive set of assessment and evaluative measures intended to inform teaching practice and guide students toward success. The workshop enables the participants to plan, construct, and use traditional and authentic assessment and evaluation instruments that are appropriate and ethical to their teaching context.

- Develop learning outcomes
- Outline the differences between assessment and evaluation
- Explain various theories and approaches to assessment and evaluation (e.g. – traditional assessment/evaluation vs. authentic assessment/evaluation)

- Design single-point rubrics
- Provide a rationale for assessment and evaluation decisions
- Apply critical reflective practices to ethical implications and issues associated with assessment and evaluation
Teaching and Learning Approach
This course uses a constructivist teaching approach. The student is an active participant in the constructing of
new knowledge rather than being a passive receiver of information. Throughout the course group discussions,
classroom teaching strategies and real-world scenarios will provide the learner with the opportunity to engage in
a multitude of learning styles. Studied concepts will be practiced through assignments which are designed to
scaffold learning and assess course learning outcomes, allowing the student to be a self-directed learner and
develop self-awareness about their learning journey.Learning Resources
