Authentic and Effective Assessment for Online Education

I was invited by READI to give a presentation on teaching in an online environment. I focused on creating connections, reducing cheating, and designing effective assessments. Below are some follow-up resources I said I would provide for the attendees, but anyone is welcome to use them!

A video of the talk is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjmRoy5k6hs&feature=youtu.be&t=396 and the slides from the presentation are in the attached pdf.
