About the course

Take a deeper look at what we assess when evaluating our learners' ability to write. What we are actually assessing and what else could we be looking for? 

Hear from teachers, get expert advice on what makes a good writer, and evaluate some tasks and activities for assessing these skills formatively.

"I would recommend the course because it was clear, practical, and provided useful ideas that can be applied in the classroom."

"I'd recommend it—analytic rubrics and sub-skill scaffolding are immediately usable."

"I believe it will be of great importance to help a colleague advance his or her knowledge when it comes to assessing writing."
