Creative Assignments and Assessments in Language and Culture Education

Weibing Ye, Associate Teaching Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures & Faculty Fellow, Notre Dame Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence

With the recent rapid move to online teaching, many instructors are trying to find the best alternative to traditional assignments and assessments for language courses. In this presentation, we will re-think how we are assessing our students and explore options to diversify students’ assessments such as adopting a final movie project to replace the traditional language oral exams. The hands-on part will include the following topics:

1. Asynchronous Oral Exams using Flipgrid or Google Form;
2. Online Quizzing using Liveworksheets;
3. In-video Quizzing via EdPuzzle;
4. Adobe Page and Adobe Video
