Designing for Authenticity
Abstract
Designing for authenticity is supported by learner-centric theoretical and pedagogical approaches. Technological advancements in digitally mediated communications now make it more feasible than ever to ensure the authenticity of online learning environments. Activities and assessments must be authentic to the learner and should provide choice, engagement, and opportunity for reflection. Authentic activities and assessments require the learner to use higher order thinking skills, collaborate, and co-construct knowledge within the learning community. Departing from traditional assessment methods minimizes academic integrity issues because learners must be able to produce tangible evidence of learning and apply real-world skills in a variety of scenarios. Authentic assessment measures learning gains by assessing the thought process behind the product and not just the product itself.
