What’s working well in your assessment process? What challenges keep coming up? And what can we learn from each other? Join us for an interactive workshop where we will come together to share experiences, ideas, and practical lessons from our own institutions. Through open discussion, we’ll explore topics such as exam design, grading workflows, academic integrity, student experience, and the ongoing shift between paper-based and digital assessments. Rather than a traditional presentation, this session is designed as a conversation. We’ll facilitate the discussion, share insights and best practices we’ve gathered through our own experiences, and highlight this workshop offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with peers examples from our customers at Ans. Whether you're refining an existing assessment process or exploring new approaches, this workshop offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with peers, learn from real-world experiences, and leave with practical takeaways you can apply at your own institution.

Creating a clear and engaging Moodle course page is essential to supporting student learning, reducing confusion, and fostering meaningful interaction with course materials. This session offers faculty/teachers a practical guide to designing Moodle pages that prioritize clarity, structure, and usability. Presenters will share effective strategies for organizing content, streamlining navigation, and building course spaces that help students easily locate materials, assignments, and expectations. In addition to concrete design ideas and examples, participants will be invited to reflect on their own course sites and engage in collaborative brainstorming around best practices for enhancing clarity, structure, and student engagement in Moodle. This interactive session is designed to generate practical takeaways that faculty/teachers can immediately implement in their own courses.

This provides a real-time demonstration of how I built ‘Fire Behavior Face-Off!’ a game for the Wildland Fire workforce. I show how to use organic Moodle capabilities, gaming principles, and AI to rapidly create a quality gamified assessment tool for measuring learners current level of knowledge. We create a new game during the session drawing on design decisions from the participants.
