Summer 2023: Grading Differently as an Inclusive and Equitable Practice

What roles can grading and assessment practices play in promoting equity and inclusion in teaching and learning? That’s the question we’ll explore during this summer’s DEIA Journal Discussion Series, with a focus on alternative grading and assessment practices to support equity and inclusion.

Though this is constructed as a series of discussions, you’re welcome to join as you’re able. We look forward to the discussion!

Digital resources and tools have been part of the learning landscape in higher education for years (e.g., Google Translator, Grammarly, Chegg, Course Hero). Artificial Intelligence (AI) authoring tools have become a significant part of this rapidly changing landscape. In this workshop, we will look at examples of responses to assignments generated by AI tools. We will consider the implications of these outputs for designing assignments that help students learn, and help instructors accurately assess their learning.

Providing a high-level view of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this introductory course is for instructors and designers who embrace student variability, strive for equity, seek to implement research-based learning practices, and want to empower students through flexibility. You will be presented with the rationale and research that supports UDL, read scenarios about applications of UDL, reflect on ways you can change your current practice, and answer multiple-choice questions about UDL terms, principles, structures, and applications.

Facilitated by Mary Ann Tobin, this course is a collaboration between the Schreyer Institute and World Campus Online Faculty Development. Enrollment is conducted on a continuous basis at https://psu.catalog.instructure.com/browse/wcfd/courses/ol-360001-universal-design-for-learning-2023.
