Kimberly, What great technique! You really get the holistic use of summative assessments. So many educators don't use it as an improvement technique for the instructor. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Kimberly, You make such a great point! You are so right as instructors we become complacent when we teach the same course the same way. It doesn't matter if we are online or f2f. We need to practice life long learning and that means evolving our teaching. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
