How students interpret an assignment often determines how successfully they complete it. This interactive webinar is for anyone who designs assignments, supports faculty in assessment design, or leads assessment and curriculum alignment efforts.

Through this introduction to assignment (re)design, you'll explore how to align assignment criteria with AAC&U's VALUE rubrics, making expectations for quality work clearer and strengthening alignment between assignments and learning outcomes.
You'll leave with practical approaches for designing assignments that communicate expectations clearly and support authentic assessment.
