Instructional-Design-Live#19 2010-05-21 Authentic Assessment
Authentic assessment is within the reach of most online instructors. It's just a matter of starting small and considering some basic principles in designing effective learning experiences, notes Mary Engstrom, senior instructional designer at the University of Montana. Mary discusses a framework for developing authentic tasks and identifies a number of examples. A key take away is the notion that individuals receive personalized feedback throughout the process of completing authentic tasks and can develop the ability to self-monitor their development if the opportunities are provided.

Hi
07:53 - jennifer maddrell
the relationship between authentic task and motivation is interesting to consider ...
08:29 - Linda U
I missed the first few slides - will they be available?
08:58 - Robert
yes, I'll upload to instructionaldesigning.org and edtechtalk.com
09:07 - Peggy George

ooo ... can get an older edition of Wiggins book for $0.90 on amazon :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/013093058X/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_s...
10:08 - Peggy George
I used UBD and the entire DVD series from Wiggins & McTighe in my university teaching :-)
12:32 - Peggy George
can you share an example of an authentic assessment task you have created?
13:45 - Peggy George
http://jonathan.mueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/
13:53 - Peggy George
think that's it
14:15 - Peggy George
can you restate the question-I was multitasking :-)
14:50 - Linda U
I teach a technical writing class, and students have a lot of different exercises where they have to work on actual documents that would be used by the audience
14:55 - Peggy George
good distinction--being able to use and apply it and not just know it
15:47 - Peggy George
a "good" webquest does that Robert :-) not all are good
16:14 - Peggy George

Hi Marlene 3 :-)
17:52 - jennifer maddrell
Getting to the specific "tasks" to incorporate, I think a good task analysis resource that focuses on "expert vs novice" differences is suggested here ... Militello, L. G., & Hutton, R. J. B. (1998). Applied cognitive task analysis (ACTA): a practitioner’s toolkit for understanding cognitive task demands. Ergonomics, 41(11), 1618-1641.

I sometimes wonder how much they are really understanding and how much comes from the scaffolding and guiding questions
25:44 - Mary
declarative vs procedural knowledge
27:43 - Peggy George
sometimes that is the "language" of the process
28:06 - jennifer maddrell
@peggy ... yes ... nice way to put it "language" of the process :)
28:21 - Peggy George
so excited about your travels!!!
29:12 - Peggy George
do you teach your students to create authentic assessments for their own future teaching?
29:33 - Mary
Yes, I did do that as a professor.
