Assessment + Online + Playful

Cases & Examples

The MIT Education Arcade, in collaboration with the Teaching Systems Lab, is exploring how to create and implement assessment that are playful and authentic. https://tsl.mit.edu/playfulassessment/

In this scope some principles are established, as:

  • “ A well-designed assessment should be seen as a tool to help students learn and progress, rather than as a threat or ultimatum”.
  • “(…) formative assessments that are woven throughout learning experiences rather than interrupting the flow of an activity.
  • They should be authentic in that the interactions feel relevant and students know why they are using them”.

 

Check list

  • To plan educational assessment, take in account general principles of teaching and learning design
  • Questions that you start to explore. What are goals or desirable outcomes for the learners/participants experience and interaction
  • What is your audience & what subject/course is the PLD activity designed for? Which content? Which tools?
  • Do not forget to bring formative and playful dimensions
  • Manage technical issues, creating accounts.
