Authentic Assessments resemble real-world tasks and activities where students are challenged to apply their knowledge and skills even before entering the field. From presentations to field reports and case studies to simulations there are a variety of ways to assess authentically.

Join together with us virtually on Tuesday October 24th to hear about the experiences and successes from faculty as they share their Authentic Assessments in a panel experience.  Our hope in this sharing of best practices is to ignite the flame to fan authentic assessment discussion and development.

Our Panelists

Fern Gauthier, Professor, School of Nursing and Emergency Services and Robert Montgomery, Professor and Program Coordinator, School of Community Services  will talk about their Stressed Out: managing and coping with difficult situations assessment – an interdisciplinary simulation styled experience that assesses the skills of Personal Service Worker (PSW) and Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYC) students in the same simulation.

Brian Vendramin, Professor and Program Coordinator, School of Business will introduce us to his application of Harvard Business Cases – that offers authentic real-world problem resolving cases where students navigate as a team to promote innovative solutions.  Brian uses Case Studies and Simulations in most of his Post-Diploma Graduate Certificate courses.

Nicola Young, Professor, School of Engineering Tech & Environmental will walk you through her in-person and virtual trade show assessment that moves outreach, promotion, and communication skills to the next level for students.  The transfer-ability of this assessment cuts across many disciplines from all our Schools.

This is the first of five sessions focused on authentic assessments that will be happening in 2023-24 and is part of our Next Level Badging.  Join in three of the five sessions and earn the Authentic Assessment Badge.
