| ASSIGNMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS |
| Papers |
Use email, Moodle Assignments, or OneDrive@Wofford to collect student papers or other works in pdf or Word format to review and grade. |
| Exams |
Moodle supports various types of questions (e.g., multiple choice, numeric entry, text entry, essay, file upload). A written exam can be posted on Moodle and proctored via a Zoom meeting where all students are muted. Consider shifting in-class exams to take-home exams. |
| Student presentations |
Use Zoom for live presentations; Read a blog post by Duke Learning Innovation here: “Online Student Presentations“. |
| Labs |
Harvard’s LabXchange is an open and free option for virtual labs. Alternatively, record a video of a lab demonstration and then create an assessment that has students analyze the lab experiment and write a lab report. If the key objective of the experiment can be data analysis, use previous student data and have the current students complete the analysis. It is also helpful to check with your textbook publisher to see the online content and activities available to you and your students. Many textbook publishers have consultants that can help you plan your lab-based simulations. |
| Scaffolded research papers |
These may be particularly tricky if you were counting on lots of on-campus interactions. Consider what the key goals are and if they can be achieved via a shorter project. If the key goal is source-related, consider an annotated bibliography. If the key goal is related to asking and answering questions, a research proposal might be an appropriate substitute. |
