I, along with my colleague and friend from Philosophy, Dr. Megan Dean, recently compiled our experiences incorporating open format assessment into our undergraduate courses. In this article we wrote for the FLTMAG, we each showcase, in detail, how we have used open format assignments in our courses. We even included rubrics we have used! I also go one step farther by advocating for the infusion of elements of choice for students wherever possible (for several reasons, including disability-inclusion), and I take time to suggest ways that language educators might incorporate open format assignments in second and foreign language assessment. Check it out and let me know what you think!
