During the 2020 pivot to emergency remote teaching VCC’s approach was to support instructors using the tools and methods (technical and pedagogical) that we had or could readily develop, particularly around built-in Moodle functionality and open education practices, Now, with the early scramble to shift delivery online behind us, we are testing the efficacy of these measures. This presentation will discuss our evaluation of (1) what the “pivot to online” actually meant to individual instructors, students, and disciplines in terms of the development and adoption of alternative assessment, and (2) what the most appropriate alternative assessment solutions would be for VCC and other small to midsize postsecondary institutions.
