AIM

This virtual institute will provide an opportunity for educators to engage with their colleagues in sharing the opportunities, methods, and challenges provided by alternative assessment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in higher education. Join the conversation about innovative, unique assessment strategies, hear about research that is currently underway, find research collaborators, share your alternative assessment practices and experiences, ask questions of others trying something new, and learn how you can support alternative assessment in your department or faculty. The participation of individuals from around the world and from a variety of institutional roles will allow participants to consider alternative assessment holistically and from multiple perspectives.
