Keys to Success in Teaching 2020:
Alignment - When assessments align with course objectives and are appropriately supported by course material, learning activities, and technologies, students are more likely to meet desired outcomes.
Clear course organization and instruction - When students understand what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and why the activities are relevant, they are less likely to become frustrated and more likely to meet desired outcomes.
Instructor presence - Timely course updates and communication, personalized feedback, and grading from the instructor have a significant effect on students’ motivation.
Assessment 2020:
