Within today’s digital world, students intuitively acquire vast
amounts of information at the touch of a screen or the tap of a
keyboard. Learners in the information age long for more than
activities that simply encourage the accumulation of additional
knowledge. In fact, students come to class intuitively knowing how
to gain a variety of information. Educational opportunities that
transition students from consumers of information to creators of
new learning experiences indelibly impact them in ways that
transfer beyond the walls of the classroom. Today’s learners
naturally and consistently consume, create, and publish content on
their own time. Educators within the digital age leverage this
creative potential when they allow and even encourage students to
tap into their propensity for innovation in class. In an age in
which far too few students understand how to effectively apply
digital literacy or safety as they explore and generate content,
today’s educators hold the potential for far-reaching impact.
Educators must learn to harness the enthusiasm students have for
content creation (and particularly digital content creation) into
everyday assessment opportunities. In doing so, they position
themselves to enhance student engagement, motivation, and
achievement in academic contexts. Authentic Assessment in Action:
An Everyday Guide for Bringing Learning to Life through Meaningful
Assessment is designed to empower educators to provide highly
impactful, consistently engaging, and unquestionably applicable
learning opportunities for students.
