      Okay, enough about multiple choice tests which focus on a narrow version of learning. This book module provides information for assessing the all the other kinds of learning. Read through all of it, or focus on the sections that cover the kind of learning that happens in your courses and program.

      Let's use this space to share examples of cool authentic and alternative assignments or assessments that you've either given, seen given, or been given. Why was it so great? Was it because it led to deep learning, or because it allowed for valid and accurate assessment? What tips and resources can you provide for someone who wanted to use this idea for their own class?

      Contributing to this forum is a requirement for the badge (by midnight [DATE]).
