About this item

by Kevin L. Merry (Author)

In Better Assessment in Higher Education, expert inclusive educator Kevin Merry reveals that assessment within your Universal Design for Learning (UDL) based higher ed curriculum can do more than just measure performance-it can also inspire student learning.

Merry guides you in the design of accessible and inclusive assessments to evaluate student outcomes, tackle real-world challenges in their application, and ensure that they align with the UDL principles. True to the UDL framework, he also shares how you can empower students as partners in the assessment design process, weaving assessment seamlessly into your instruction to support a variety of goals, such as cultivating learner metacognition and driving differentiated learning.

By emphasizing the crucial alignment of UDL and assessment, Merry demonstrates its vital role in enabling diverse learners to reach their full potential within the classroom and beyond. Whether you're already familiar with UDL or want to explore new techniques and insight, this book is an essential resource on assessment for any college or university.
