Assessment Methods with Case Studies

In addition to the methods and tools already covered in the previous material, Methods and Tools for Assessment in a Digital Environment, there is a wide range of effective yet less standardised assessment methods applied in various educational contexts.
This material provides an overview of a spectrum of assessment methods that can be used to refresh and redesign the assessment strategy in your course, encouraging reflection on combining different approaches to achieve greater authenticity and fairness in assessment. Each method is illustrated with an example from higher education and includes a description of how it can be implemented in a digital environment.

Some of the presented methods do not have the digital environment as their natural foundation, or digital tools do not bring additional pedagogical value, but they can, when needed, be adapted and integrated into hybrid or online forms of teaching.
The aim is to encourage instructors to recognize the strengths and limitations of individual approaches and, depending on the nature of the course and the students, to align the selected methods with learning outcomes and the teaching strategy.
