Description

This course focuses on the design of Learning and Assessment Situations (LAS), pedagogical devices at the heart of competency-based education. It presents their defining characteristics, the types of activities suited to them, and the principles of instructional sequencing. A five-step operational process guides participants through the creation of an LAS. The course concludes with the quality criteria for evaluating an LAS, providing faculty researchers with a comprehensive framework for designing authentic assessment situations that are aligned with the targeted competencies.
