Over a couple of decades working as an instructional technologist, I have developed my ideas on what a good assignment should cover. In preparation for this episode, I rediscovered the principles outlined by TILT – Transparency in Learning and Teaching. Since they mirror my principles and that are already documented, I am going to focus on transparent assignment design.
The goal of this episode is to help you develop assignments that help students achieve your learning objectives.
This week we are going to take a closer look at the three elements of Transparent Assignment Design. These elements are supported by Universal Design for Learning.
