March 31: Creating Authentic Assessments using Collaborative Tools
Explore how collaborative tools can support more authentic and AI-resistant assessments. In this session, we’ll look at practical strategies using tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft OneDrive/Office, and Zotero to design activities that emphasize collaboration, visible thinking, and meaningful engagement. Participants will leave with adaptable ideas they can implement in their own courses. To prepare for this workshop, please bring a reading that you use in class (either a PDF/Document).
Facilitated by: Veronica Nargi
