Design for How People Learn

Julie Dirksen

Designing effective assessments doesn’t have to be daunting. Start by planning your evaluation methods at the beginning of the course to ensure alignment with your teaching objectives. Incorporate feedback opportunities throughout the course, such as informal task reviews, peer critiques, and self-assessments, to support continuous learning. When creating formal assessments, prioritize recall-based questions over recognition to encourage deeper understanding and application of knowledge. For example, instead of multiple-choice questions, ask learners to generate strategies or solutions based on what they’ve learned. Lastly, gather feedback from your students through anonymous surveys to refine your teaching approach. By understanding your audience, tailoring your methods, and fostering engagement, you can create a learning environment that benefits both students and educators.
