Using Video to Assess

Hello colleagues, Have you ever used video to assess students' learning and/or to have adult learners assess themselves? If so, how have you structured such activities, and what were your evaluation criteria? Take a look at the graphic image below which is an excerpt of one that appeared in a recent Education Week blog by Lisa Westman. Westman discusses seven ways to use video with kids, at least three which could be adapted for use with adult learners, too.

How do these suggestions on ways to use video to assess resonate with you? Tell us about your experiences with using video in your instruction for various purposes.

Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
