FLO Micro Course: Authentic and Alternative Assessment Handbook

3. Navigating the Course Content

Each day represents a different topic and while each one stands alone and can be done independently of the other, it is recommended that you follow in sequential order. 

There is a list of suggested to-dos for each day. You are welcome to complete as little or as much of it as you wish. 

Things to note:

• Meet & Greet Forum - Use this to introduce yourself and get to know the people in your FLO cohort. (Participation required for badge
• Daily Conversation Forum - Use this to open and/or join a conversation about the course topics.  (Participation required for badge - minimum one contribution over the week)
• BOOKS - You will find the content organized into books and chapters. 
• STOP & THINK - As you make your way through the content in the books, there are places to pause and consider how this information connects to your practice. There will be a question posed for you to think about. Feel free to use these prompts to open a conversation in the forum. 
• TRY THIS - On day 2, there is an opportunity for you to complete an activity to interrogate a course outcome in order to design a valid, reliable, and fair assessment. 
• Synchronous Sessions - There are two synchronous sessions available for you to join live (Tuesday and Friday @9 am PST). These will be recorded for those who cannot make it.
• If This, Now What? Final Forum - A place to reflect upon the biggest takeaways and identify the commitments you'll make to apply what was learned to your practice. (Participation required for badge)
• Collaborative Resource Padlet - a place to upload links, resources, tip...etc. for everyone to see.
