The goal of this alternative assessment toolkit is to offer educators and instructional designers a vibrant, accessible, and equity‑centered resource for assessing adult learners across a wide range of learning environments.

This project is rooted in a spirit of openness. By encouraging the use of open‑source (OER) materials, the toolkit invites educators to adapt, remix, and contribute resources that grow and evolve with the community.

At its heart, the toolkit aims to spark meaningful social change. It supports educators and designers in moving beyond traditional tests and toward authentic, learner‑centered assessments that honor each learner’s strengths. By providing flexible, inclusive options, the toolkit helps ensure that assessments reflect and respect diverse backgrounds, learning preferences, and accessibility needs.
