Assessments in remote learning

The new medium of virtual and hybrid learning has pushed many educators to rethink the role of assessments in their lessons, alongside pushing new innovations such as the use of AI technology in marking. Along the way, educators have also discovered best practices for assessing students in an environment where remote and hybrid learning are likely to stay.  

How can we craft assessments that are empathetic to students’ circumstances? What are ways to check students’ understanding and encourage their strengths? Join us next week for the last part of our three-part webinar series, Enhancing Remote Learning, where we hear from three outstanding Southeast Asian educators on how they adapted assessments to serve students during remote learning.
