Ever wondered how to make your assignments crystal clear, ensuring students understand not just what to do but why it matters? Transparent assignment designs have been proven to promote equity and student success. Clarification and elaboration of an assignments’ purpose, task, and grading criteria works to scaffold student learning activities, especially now with the widespread use of AI in learning. Doing so helps all students, but especially students from underserved populations and students who may be unfamiliar with college success strategies. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the transparent design framework (TiLT), analyze sample transparent assignments, and will begin drafting or revising a transparent assignment.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Assessment Methods and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (A)
