SET: Making Assignments Matter

Public Displays of Learning: Making Assignments Matter

Class assignments are given to determine students' understanding of course content. However, not every assignment is given the importance and priority that we would wish. When work products are more open, and others are able to view students' efforts, we see an increased commitment level to these assignments. Join Michele Henry for a discussion on Public Displays of Learning, where she will explore various ways to create a more public forum for student work. Drawing on her own experiences with publicizing assignments, you will have the opportunity to consider how to increase student effort for assignments in your discipline.
