Thanks to Richard Zerbe for delivering a practical and thought provoking presentation on Assessment for Learning. The lecture was videotaped and should be posted soon on the UBC on iTunesU page. What is available now, however, is a PDF of his PPT slideshow. The PDF is too large to post directly to the blog, but it is available at the bottom of the page shown below and linked above:
One thing I found interesting in Zerbe’s presentation was that he made references to many ideas, activities, thinkers, and resources we’ve been playing with in our coursework, including such things as:
- Thumbs up, down and in the middle
- Wordles
- Understanding by Design
- Faye Brownlie
- Random Reign of Terror… Popsicle Sticks
Were there other items in his presentation that were familiar to you? noteworthy? illuminating?
In next Wednesday’s seminar, we plan to:
- take up some of your thoughts on assessment for learning
- extend your thinking on assessment and evaluation by working with the Grading for Learning ideas developed by Ken O’Connor.
Ciao,
– Lawrence
