Self-Assessment

Design Competency

This self-assessment tool is designed to help educators evaluate their competency in designing blended courses. The 10 questions assess the educator's understanding of theory and methods for designing blended courses, ability to create learning outcomes and an assessment plan that aligns with them, design and development of content-centered and community-centered learning activities, and communication with students. The tool provides a framework for educators to reflect on their current abilities and identify areas where they may need support or professional development.
