Abstract

For classes with students from diverse disciplines, professors should consider allowing multiple formats of expression in completing assignments. We call these kind of open-ended assignments “free-range assignments”. To design free-range assignments, professors should provide freedom, resources, expectations, examples, reflection, articulation, networks, guidance and evaluation. Professors may also want to consider using technology tools to facilitate the design of such assignments.
