Abstract
Many of us in higher education found ourselves in a remarkable effort to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. As faculty, we had to figure out how to continue to teach via remote delivery and enable our students to engage and learn. The usual activities of teaching -creating content, holding lecture sessions and office hours, assigning and collecting homework, and building and administering of exams- all became wicked problems. This webinar will discuss approaches and technology solutions to assessing student learning in remote and online environments and provide expert advice for common questions.
