Partner Event: From Memorization to Critical Thinking - An Embedded Librarian's Guide to Designing Higher-Order Assessments

Library instructors often rely on multiple-choice questions due to course access, grading, and time constraints, but these questions aren’t limited to assessing knowledge and comprehension. This webinar will show how instruction librarians can design assessments that foster higher-order thinking (yes, even with multiple choice questions) and align with meaningful learning objectives. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy, Backward Design, and real instruction examples, we’ll explore strategies for crafting application-level and above questions, connecting them to instructional content, and creating engaging, application-based activities.

Participants will leave with practical tools to up their assessment game, moving beyond memorization to building student confidence. This webinar is applicable to any subject area or student level.
