Assessments Theory and Practice

How to Measure, Guide, and Improve Learning

When skillfully designed, assessments can do far more than just evaluate and certify – they can provide the basis for a truly adaptive, responsive, and interactive learning experience.  But realizing this value requires that you know how to use assessments strategically and create assessment items that actually assess what you are trying to measure.

This workshop equips you with practical approaches to assessment design that maximize both instructional impact and evaluative accuracy. You’ll learn to create valid assessments that precisely measure intended capabilities while discovering how strategically designed assessments become valuable learning experiences themselves.

From selecting the right assessment format for different learning goals to crafting questions that provide meaningful data, you’ll develop skills to extract full value from every assessment. Start designing assessments that both teach effectively and measure precisely, transforming this critical component from an afterthought into a cornerstone of learning effectiveness.

Your people will learn how to:

  • Design assessment experiences that actually teach while they measure, giving you two crucial outcomes with a single well-crafted component
  • Confidently select the perfect assessment format for any learning situation, ensuring you capture precisely what you need to know about performance
  • Create assessment items that measure exactly what they’re supposed to measure, eliminating the frustration of unreliable or misleading results
  • Construct questions that yield rich, meaningful data about true capability, providing insights that drive targeted improvements
  • Strategically place assessments throughout learning experiences to maximize both development and measurement, creating a seamless learning journey
  • Masterfully balance formative assessments and summative assessments to extract maximum value from every assessment opportunity
