Week 2 Assessment Inventory

I found the assessment inventory a good way to clarify the difference between teacher-centered and learner-centered learning.

Good assessment helps us understand what the students can do well and what they need to improve on, raise questions about curriculum and teaching strategies, and better understand how to assess. The instructor needs to be a facilitator and coach, learning right along with the student.

I did find the assessment a little repetitive and was surprised that the term authentic, constructivism, or action learning was not used to describe the assessment tools of projects, papers, and portfolios.
