The online environment has brought convenience. However, it has also brought additional concerns and a call to move beyond traditional means of identifying what students know during and at the end of the course.
When developing unit and lesson plans, teachers decide how student performance will be assessed. When developing performance assessments, teachers move between thinking and working in the role of an assessor and thinking and working in the role of an activity developer.
