Performance tasks mirror real world contexts, revealing whether learners can apply knowledge under realistic constraints. Unlike recall based tests, authentic tasks capture problem framing, communication, and judgment. Scalable design preserves rigor by combining clear rubrics with opportunities for iteration and reflection. When tasks align with professional practice, assessment becomes part of learning rather than a separate hurdle.
Rubrics and Feedback
Clear criteria align expectations and guide improvement. Timely feedback accelerates mastery by highlighting specific next steps.
Integrity by Design
Open book formats, oral defenses, and reflective artifacts discourage superficial completion. Process evidence validates outcomes without surveillance.
Validity and Equity
Multiple measures reduce bias and capture diverse strengths. Choice in format widens access while preserving standards.
