Overview

Join us for a 90-minute workshop to transform assignments. This session introduces the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework as a transformative tool to redesign assignments that not only clarify learning expectations but also align with General Education Requirements (GER) outcomes.

Throughout the workshop, participants will:

Walk Away with Practical Tools: Receive templates, examples, and resources that can be immediately implemented in your courses to drive student success.

Explore TILT Principles: Gain an understanding of how clear learning goals, transparent criteria, and supportive scaffolding can enhance student performance.

Align Assessments with GER Outcomes: Learn strategies to map assignment components directly to GER objectives, ensuring that every assignment promotes measurable learning outcomes.

Revise Assignments: Bring an assignment with you to collaborate in small groups to re-imagine current assessments using TILT guidelines, share feedback, and refine approaches.

This interactive workshop offers a blend of brief presentations, collaborative activities, and reflective discussions, empowering you to create assessments that are transparent, student-centered, and aligned with your institution’s GER outcomes. Whether you’re looking to revamp a single assignment or overhaul your assessment strategy, this session provides insights and tools necessary for transparent change in GER courses.
