We are offering two Assessment Redesign Sprints in May/June. This registration page is for the Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning Sprint. If you are interested in the Artificial Intelligence Sprint, please visit the Artificial Intelligence Sprint registration page.

Students come to our courses with a wide range of strengths, needs, and ways of showing what they know. This workshop gives you dedicated time, practical tools, and the support of colleagues to take a closer look at one of your existing assessments and begin reimagining it with accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in mind. 

Over the course of the workshop, you'll critically examine an assessment you're already using, identify where it may be creating unintentional barriers, and begin redesigning it to offer students more flexible and equitable ways to demonstrate their learning. We will pay particular attention to the ways assessment design choices, including format, timing, instructions, and grading criteria, may affect students with disabilities. 

About Assessment Design Sprints

These sessions offer instructors concentrated time to rethink the design of their assessments in relation to a specific area of focus. While the session will be guided by principles of learning-centered assessment design, we will not be focusing on foundational assessment design principles during the workshop. The session is structured to balance facilitated discussions with hands-on assignment design time and collaborative problem solving.
