Workshop Description:
“Our biases are influenced by our backgrounds, cultural environment and personal experiences. We may not even be aware of these biases or their full impact and implications” (AdvanceHE 2019).
Experience from spring and summer courses at OCADU suggests that feedback and assessment take on added importance in online contexts as a means for creating connection and community with students. Yet these spaces are also the places where unexamined biases and assumptions may unintentionally result in less than inclusive teaching practices. Furthermore, research suggests that while we attend to bias in course design and teaching and learning materials and activities, assessment practices typically do not receive equal attention from instructors. This workshop will highlight recent research in inclusive assessment and feedback and suggest some promising practices and strategies as we continue to iterate and reimagine online feedback and assessment approaches for art and design education.
