If we are going to teach differently, we also have to assess differently. If we are teaching by incorporating Web 2.0 technology in our lessons, it is unreasonable to continue paper and print assessment. We will need to assess practically. Thus we will have to learn to create rubrics for assessment. The students would have to be appraised of and be made comfortable with the rubrics, the same way we were treated at UWI. Maybe it's time for our goodly lecturers to conduct a session in creating effective rubrics, focusing on what to do and what to avoid. Until such time, we will just have to create our own for our five lesson plans.
In this era of multiple intelligences and Web 2.0 technology, our methods of teaching and assessing must evolve. We are, after all in the 21st century and so are our students. Let us move with the times, or else be left behind.
