Summary of presentation
E-learning has the potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of learning in higher education. But this will not happen if educators revert to old pedagogies that fail to capture the considerable affordances offered by online learning. In this presentation, elements of authentic learning and authentic assessment will be explored, and practical examples will be given of online courses that successfully and creatively align task and assessment.
